Saltimbocca Alla Romana: How to make Rome’s most popular main dish

[@blandrooker6541]

In my younger days as a journeyman cook, I worked in a good restaurant and prepared this many times a shift. We used fresh sage, but to lower cost, we used veal from the leg, butchered in house. Since it's tougher than loin, we would use a meat mallet to make escalopes, then lay the sage, then the prosciutto, then pound it all together to a uniform thickness. Salt and pepper, dredged and sauteed in olive oil and clarified butter, topped with Fontina, hit the pan with garlic and shallot, deglazed with marsala followed by good veal stock, reduced, finished with butter and plated. 40 years later, I can still go through the motions in my head and taste it. Guess I need to go to the local butcher shop now, I'm hungry!

Very similar to what I have learned.

[@vissitorsteve]

Thank you!

[@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307]

BS this is not as popular as fried pigs nipples or door mouse!

[@mrartdeco]

Sounds like good ol days

Yo, I love this guy, he's such a professional. I watched a video with him making carbonara like 8 years ago and he impressed me with how simply and perfectly he made it. And he explained everything. Absolute legend.

My mum is Bresciana and dad Milanese. I'm glad this programme respected the origins of this dish 😂

[@goodputin4324]

Come?

[@Matatabi6]

I went to Rome on a pre packaged tour this was the first meal we got

[@Martin_Priesthood]

❤️ Italy 😋

[@jmason61]

I know some people don't like eating veal (my girlfriend at the event) but the one time I had it served at a wedding it was so delicious I still remember

[@ChicagoTurtle1]

Does the original traditional recipe call for cooking it in a mix of butter and olive oil? Does it specify a specific kind of white wine?

[@DWFood]

There are different recipes for Saltimbocca, so you might use the ingredients you prefer the most. But the white wine should be dry and not too sweet.

[@habt936]

​@@DWFoodWow.. respect for replying to a genuine question.

[@sibionic]

disagree about the dried sage. It should always be fresh but use smaller leaves.

[@MrNoipe]

its just cheaper

[@schubertuk]

@@MrNoipe The chef had a point (as does @sibionic). Large mature sage leaves can be too distracting in texture (especially when sandwiched in between the meats ). Young fresh leaves are no problem - and are what I use by preference - I grow my own. Yes dried sage is cheaper, but (depending on time of year) it may also be the better option.

[@THEjurassicfrog]

I make this with turkey cutlet. Cheaper, rich enough to compliment the sauce, and no one gives you grief about baby animals. Also use a dry sherry and braise the prosciutto in the sauce, don't pin it to the meat. The flour makes a roux with the meat juice and sherry. Half and half on the fresh v dried sage, but I use dalmatian. The stuff in the video looked enemic, but it might just be veal and the wet veil of uncooked prosciutto

Their veal really is the tenderest, the mafia beats up the cutlets on-camera.

Why use very big aperture on the dish close-up shots?

As is so often the case, the thumbnail picture has nothing to do with the video, which I find terrible. ​

[@flyuia6412]

compliments to the Cook but did he not forgott the main part 😂😂😂 The leave of sage 🍃to put on the Saltimbocca ??? Without Sage leave it's not a real Saltimbocca 🤔🤔🤔

[@whlewis9164]

I always thought saltimbocca translates to “jump in the mouth”.

Meglio se ci metti la salvia fresca, non da fastidio a nessuno, solo a te. Il sale no il prosciutto e` salato, la farina nel tuo piatto era troppa quindi vedi di dare una sgrullata a quelle scaloppine prima di friggerle. Voto 8,5 ti sei fregato il 10 da solo, affari tuoi.
