Lemon Veal Saltimbocca

Lemon Veal Saltimbocca

Directions

  1. Place the veal chops on a work surface and season with salt and pepper. Place 2 slices of lemon on top of each chop. Sprinkle with chopped sage, reserving 1 tablespoon for garnish. Lay a large piece of prosciutto on each chop and press to seal.
  2. 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.
  3. De-glaze 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 simmer until reduced by half.
  4. Remove from heat and add the butter one tablespoon at a time. Season with salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour the sauce over the veal and top with the remaining chopped sage. Serve immediately.
