Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 veal escalopes, about 150g each
6 sage leaves
6 slices prosciutto
50g plain flour , seasoned
splash olive oil
small knobs of butter
200ml marsala wine
juice ½ lemon
green salad, fried potatoes or crusty bread , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Bash out the escalopes until they are about 5mm thick. Place a sage leaf on each one, wrap with the prosciutto, then press another sage leaf on top and flatten out with your hand. Dust lightly with the seasoned flour.
  • Heat the oil and the butter in a large frying pan until foaming, and fry the veal for 4-5 mins on each side until the prosciutto is crisp, then remove from the pan. Add the Marsala wine to the pan and sizzle to make a sauce, scraping any tasty bits off the bottom. Add the lemon juice to taste. Put the veal back in the pan to heat through, then serve with a green salad and some fried potatoes or crusty bread.
