Saltimbocca alla Romana

Thin veal with prosciutto and sage in a white-wine pan sauce.

About Saltimbocca alla Romana

GialloZafferano’s saltimbocca alla romana is a classic of Lazio’s cooking. This rendition pairs thin veal slices with prosciutto crudo and sage, a recognisable Roman combination.

The cured ham brings a salty, savoury note, with sage adding its distinctive herbal fragrance. White wine, olive oil and butter form the pan sauce, balanced by black pepper.

The small veal slices carry their ham and sage on top, with a glossy sauce around them. The thin meat and tender texture give this dish its compact presentation. Olive oil accompanies the wine, with butter an optional addition to the sauce.
