Ingredients

Base recipe for 2 servings. Adjust quantities below for restaurant production, banquet service, or tasting menu preparation.

  • 400 g veal top round
  • 80 g prosciutto
  • 4 g sage leaves
  • 120 ml white wine
  • 40 g flour
  • 200 g asparagus
  • 400 g baked potato
  • 30 g butter
  • 20 ml olive oil
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Pound the veal thin and top each slice with prosciutto and sage.
  2. Lightly flour the veal and sauté in butter and olive oil until golden and lightly crisp at the edges.
  3. Deglaze with white wine and reduce briefly to create a fragrant pan sauce.
  4. Prepare or rewarm the baked potatoes and asparagus for service.
  5. Plate the veal with potatoes and asparagus, spooning the white wine sauce over the meat before serving.
Chef’s Note: Saltimbocca cooks quickly, so the veal should be pounded evenly and sautéed gently to stay tender. The prosciutto, sage, and wine form the classic balance of salt, aroma, and acidity.
