Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
24 large fresh sage leaves
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt
1 large egg yolk, beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
lemon wedges

Steps:

  • 1 Spread the bread crumbs on a sheet of wax paper. In a small bowl, toss the sage leaves with the flour and 1 teaspoon salt. 2 One at a time, dip the sage leaves in the egg yolk, then roll them in the bread crumbs. Place the leaves on a cake rack to dry 30 minutes. 3 Line a tray with paper towels. Just before serving, heat the oil and butter in a small skillet. When the butter foam subsides, arrange the sage leaves in the pan in a single layer. Fry, turning the leaves once, until browned and crisp on both sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with lemon wedges. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
