VEAL SALTIMBOCCA

Total preparation and cooking time:  40 minutes (Makes 4 servings)

Ingredients 

1 pound veal leg cutlets, cut 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh sage
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut to fit cutlets
1-1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup diced seeded tomato
2 ounces shaved Parmesan cheese
Sauce:
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
 

Instructions

Pound veal cutlets to 1/8-inch thickness, if necessary.  Sprinkle cutlets with pepper.  Sprinkle sliced sage on tops of cutlets; cover with prosciutto.  Cover cutlets with a piece of parchment or waxed paper; with hand, gently press prosciutto into the cutlets.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted.  Place 2 or 3 cutlets in skillet, prosciutto side down.  Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until veal is cooked through, turning once so that prosciutto is on top.  Remove cutlets; keep warm.  Repeat twice to cook remaining cutlets.
Add wine to skillet; increase heat to medium-high.  Cook and stir until slightly syrupy.  Stir in any juices released from cutlets; remove from heat.  Stir in 1 tablespoon room temperature butter and minced sage.  Spoon sauce over cutlets.  Top with tomato and cheese.  Serve immediately.
