Serves 1-2

For this recipe, you will need:

• 2 veal cutlets (8 oz. total, or 230g)

• 4 small slices prosciutto crudo (30g)

• 4 fresh sage leaves

• All-purpose flour for battering

• 1 1/2 tbsp (22g) unsalted butter

• 1/4 cup (60ml) white wine

• Salt

• Fresh black pepper

Place each cutlet between parchment paper sheets and pound very thin with a mallet or rolling pin. If using 2 standard 4 oz. cutlets, cut each of these in half (for 4 total meat slices).

On each piece of veal place a similar-sized slice of prosciutto and a sage leaf. Use a toothpick to pin them together. Lightly dust each with all-purpose flour.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and place each veal cutlet, prosciutto side up, in the pan. Cook, flipping occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned on each side. Add the white wine and bring to a simmer.

Continue to cook until the excess liquid has evaporated. Serve and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Buon appetito!
