Ingredients
- 2 small radicchio
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 8 slices prosciutto (not too thinly sliced)
- 4 veal escalopes (90-100 g each), tenderised
- 1 small bunch sage leaves (larger leaves preferred)
- plain flour
- salt and black pepper
- 60 g butter
- ½ cup (125 ml) white wine
- dried parsley, to serve
- shaved parmesan, to serve
Instructions
- Halve the radicchio (quarter, if large), keeping the stalk intact. Brush with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Set aside until ready to use.
- Place 1-2 prosciutto slices on one side of the veal escalopes, and place 1-2 sage leaves (depending on size) on top of the prosciutto. Secure the sage leaves with a toothpick.
- Combine the flour with a generous amount of pepper. Coat the underside of the veal with the seasoned flour.
- Heat a large frypan over medium heat and melt the butter. When the butter is half melted place in a large handful of sage leaves and the veal (flour-side down first) and cook for 1 minute or until browned.
- Flip the veal and cook the prosciutto-side for 2 minutes. Take veal out and place on a plate prosciutto side up.
- Turn heat up to medium-high and add in the white wine and reduce for about 2 minutes or until it has thickened slightly.
- While the sauce is cooking, grill the radicchio on a medium-high heat for 1 minute each side until it has a nice char.
- Serve the radicchio with the saltimbocca and season with salt, dried parsley and parmesan.
- Once the sauce is glossy, pour over the saltimbocca and season with pepper. Remove the toothpicks from the saltimbocca.
Note
• This recipe uses veal escalopes tenderized by the butcher. Alternatively, to tenderise the veal, place veal between glad wrap sheets and tenderise with a rolling pin, taking care not to hit them too hard or they will get to thin and break apart.
