Ingredients

  • Twelve 2-ounce slices veal scaloppine, pounded very thin
  • 24 sage leaves
  • 12 thin slices prosciutto (about 1/2 ounce each)
  • All-purpose flour, for dredging
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine

Method

  • Lay the scaloppine on a work surface and top each slice with 2 sage leaves and a slice of prosciutto.
  • Weave 2 toothpicks through each scaloppine to secure the sage leaves and prosciutto.
  • In a large, shallow dish, season the flour with salt and pepper.
  • In each of 2 large skillets, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • Dredge 6 of the scaloppine in the flour and put 3 in each skillet.
  • Cook over moderately high heat until nicely browned, about 1 minute per side.
  • Transfer the scaloppine to a large platter and cover loosely with foil.
  • Repeat with the remaining olive oil, butter and 6 scaloppine.
  • Add half the wine to each skillet and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
  • Pour the contents of 1 skillet into the other and boil the wine over moderately high heat until slightly reduced, about 1 minute.
  • Remove the toothpicks from the scaloppine, spoon the sauce on top and serve at once.
