Veal Escalopes Wrapped With Prosciutto Sage Lemon Saltimbocca Recipes

Steps:

• Place the veal chops on a work surface and season with salt and pepper. Place a slice of lemon on top of each chop. Top with 1 leaf of sage. Lay a large piece of prosciutto on each chop and press to seal.
• Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the veal chops in the hot oil, lemon side down. Saute until the prosciutto starts to caramelize, about 2 minutes. Turn the veal over and saute for another 2 minutes. Remove to a platter and set aside.
• Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth and reduce by half. Add the tomatoes, cream, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined and hot. Pour the sauce over the veal and top with the remaining 1 teaspoon finely chopped sage. Serve immediately.

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.
