Veal Cutlets With Prosciutto And Sage Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the cutlets: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken cutlets with salt. Put the eggs and breadcrumbs into two separate wide shallow bowls. Dip each chicken cutlet in the egg and then the breadcrumbs. Shake any excess off each one. Transfer to the lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
• Cook the sage and prosciutto: In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil. Tear 2 of the prosciutto slices into smaller pieces and add to the oil in the skillet. Cook over low heat until crispy, 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining prosciutto. Remove the prosciutto from the skillet and add the sage leaves. Cook until they turn pale in color and become crispy, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Season with salt. If the skillet looks dry, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir the garlic into the oil and season with salt. Allow the garlic to simmer in the warm oil for about a minute to cook off the raw flavor. Transfer the garlic and oil to a medium bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or fit with a wire rack.
• Cook the chicken: Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until it smokes lightly. Working in batches, add the chicken cutlets to the pan in a single layer and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook another 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked cutlets to the baking sheet. Season with salt. Place the baking sheet in the oven to keep the chicken warm. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
• Make the vinaigrette and finish the dish: Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil into the bowl with the reserved garlic and oil. Taste for seasoning. Arrange the cutlets on a serving platter and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with the sage leaves and prosciutto.

Steps:

• Pat veal cutlets dry. With a knife mince and mash garlic to a paste with salt. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste on one side of 1 veal cutlet and arrange 3 sage leaves in one layer over paste. Cover veal cutlet with 2 slices prosciutto and secure prosciutto and sage with 3 wooden picks. Arrange veal cutlet, prosciutto side down, on a tray and season with pepper. Prepare more saltimbocca in same manner.
• In a 12-inch heavy skillet heat oil over high heat until it just begins to smoke and sauté 2 veal cutlets, prosciutto sides down, 30 seconds. Turn veal cutlets over and sauté 15 seconds more, or until veal is just cooked through. Transfer saltimbocca with tongs to a platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil. Sauté remaining veal cutlets and keep warm in same manner.
• Pour off oil from skillet and return skillet to high heat. Add wine carefully and deglaze skillet, scraping up brown bits. Boil wine until reduced to about 1/3 cup.
• Discard wooden picks and serve saltimbocca drizzled with reduction sauce.

Steps:

• Bash out the escalopes until they are about 5mm thick. Place a sage leaf on each one, wrap with the prosciutto, then press another sage leaf on top and flatten out with your hand. Dust lightly with the seasoned flour.
• Heat the oil and the butter in a large frying pan until foaming, and fry the veal for 4-5 mins on each side until the prosciutto is crisp, then remove from the pan. Add the Marsala wine to the pan and sizzle to make a sauce, scraping any tasty bits off the bottom. Add the lemon juice to taste. Put the veal back in the pan to heat through, then serve with a green salad and some fried potatoes or crusty bread.

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped shallots, sage, thyme and bay leaf and sautée 2 minutes. Add dry white wine and both stocks and boil until mixture is reduced to a cup, about 20 minutes. Add whipping cream and boil until reduced to sauce consistency, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Sauce can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Pound each veal chop between sheets of waxed paper to 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper. Dredge veal in flour; shake off excess. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add veal to skillet and sauté until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Wrap 1 prosciutto slice around center of each piece of veal. Arrange 2 veal pieces on each plate. Strain sauce, if desired. Bring sauce to simmer. Pour around veal and serve immediately.
