Loading...The translation of this name from Italian is “jump in mouth” which is the sensation you get as you bite into a tender piece of this veal topped with fresh sage and prosciutto. All of your taste buds will be tantalized.
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
- 1 lb (500 g) Ontario veal scallopini
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
- 1 cup (250 mL) dry white wine
- 4 (2 oz/ 60 g) slices prosciutto, slivered
- 8 fresh sage leaves, slivered
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Serves: 4
Cut veal into serving sized pieces. In shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. Dip veal into flour, coating both sides and shaking off excess flour. Transfer to waxed-lined plate. Repeat with remaining veal; reserving excess flour.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat a small amount of the oil over medium-high heat. Brown veal in small batches, for about 1 minute per side, adding more oil as necessary between batches. Transfer to large shallow baking dish.
Reduce heat to medium; add 1 tsp (5 mL) of the remaining oil to pan. Sprinkle in reserved flour; cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in wine; simmer, stirring, for about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Pour over veal in dish. Sprinkle with prosciutto and sage. (Dish can be cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to 8 hours. Reheat in 350 F (180 C) oven for about 20 minutes or until hot). Sprinkle with Parmesan and broil for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
