Saltimbocca alla Romana is one of Rome’s oldest and most loved dishes with each bite so tender, rich, and full of flavor that you can’t help but devour it.

Thin slices of veal are topped with salty prosciutto and fresh sage, then cooked in butter and white wine until the sauce turns silky and glossy. The meat stays soft, the piece of prosciutto adds a gentle crispness, and the sage perfumes the whole dish with its delicate aroma.

What makes Saltimbocca even better is how quick and easy it is. You only need a few ingredients and about ten minutes. It’s elegant enough for a dinner party, yet simple enough for a cozy weeknight meal.

#saltimbocca #italianfood #recipe

==========================================

INGREDIENTS:
4 veal fillets
4–8 slices Prosciutto San Daniele or Parma
A fresh bunch of sage
1 /4 standard glass of white wine
A bowl of all-purpose flour (for dusting)
50g / 1.7oz butter
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Salt and pepper

METHOD:
1) Place two pieces of veal between sheets of baking paper and gently pound them with a meat mallet until they are an even thickness. This helps them cook quickly and stay tender.
2) Lay a slice of prosciutto over each piece of veal and place a fresh sage leaf right in the center. Secure everything with a toothpick so the layers hold together nicely. Repeat the process with the remaining veal slices and set aside.
3) Next, lightly coat each piece in flour, making sure both sides are covered. Shake off any excess and place them on a plate, ready for the pan.
4) In a large frying pan, warm three to four tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, then drop in the remaining sage leaves to infuse the EVOO with flavor.
5) Place the veal in the pan with the sage leaf side facing down first. Cook for about two minutes, then flip carefully and cook for another two minutes on the other side until the prosciutto becomes slightly crisp and the veal is golden.
6) Pour in a splash of white wine, letting it touch the oil rather than the meat. Give the pan a quick swirl so the wine mixes with the butter and oil. Add another splash if and keep swirling until the sauce reduces and turns slightly creamy.

HOW TO SERVE:
Before serving, remove the toothpicks so your guests can dive straight in. Arrange the veal slices neatly on a warm plate and spoon that rich, velvety sauce right over the top. Coat each piece so that it stays moist, tender and juicy. Add extra if there is any leftover so no sauce goes to waste.

Serve it quickly while the sauce is still glossy and smooth, as it will thicken the longer it sits. For a slightly more citrus taste, you can also squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the top.

  1. Looks great, Vincenzo! QUESTION: What kind of side ingredients are typically served with Saltimbocca—potatoes, spaghetti, or something else?

  2. Love the video vincenzo love your content your a amazing YouTuber I love watching your videos they are the greatest and the best and the coolest the saltimbocca looks so yummy and delicious im So going to make for my family and friends it so easy to make it 😋 🤤another amazing video Vincenzo ❤️❤❤❤

  3. Vincenzo! Thank you for the video. Your channel helped me cook my first Bolognese sauce and the rest was history. I was too young to learn from my Ligurian nonna’s cooking before she passed, and your videos are the next best thing. Please continue preserving authentic Italian cooking and inspiring us all. Grazie mille per la tua saggezza!

  4. Vincenzo?

    I noticed you don’t upload as much as you used to lately.

    Everything alright? 🥺❤️

  5. Thank you for the video! I will definitely try it. Besides, a slice of prosciutto makes life much easier and happier. I wrapped a chicken fillet with a slice of prosciutto and all the flavours lifted.

  6. I really think Italians have mastered the art of food with so few ingredients, this looks delicious!

  7. Oh, I really do want to cook this!

    It is a dish I have never eaten – and nor I have ever seen this as an option in our Americanized Italian restaurants.

  8. No cheese? I always had saltimbocca with a slice of melted cheese, along with the prosciutto. Was this added later by modern chefs, or is a regional variation?

  9. You might already know this, but for a really tender meat(at least chicken meat since I've only tried this with chicken) you could use onion juice, and only the juice.

  10. Looks amazing but you included salt and pepper in the recipe but skipped over how or when to add them.?

  11. From start to finish, how to cook the simple dish, every step was explained in detail. Vincenzo, thank you again, and I can’t wait to make this dish!

  12. I'm making this with chicken tomorrow (didn't feel like making a trip to the fancy supermarket to get veal). I ordered it when I was in Rome at the beginning of October, but switched dishes with my son who didn't like what he had ordered.

  13. This is pretty similar to how I make mine — open faced, sauced on top, YUMMY!. I serve it on top of a bed of sauteed rapini, it's the perfect meal.

  14. Strangely very similar to my Mums “Schnitzel “. Only two differences really. She’d use the spiked mallet size and use parsley instead of sage. I wonder now where she got the recipe from. Probably a magazine

  15. Aw yeah Saltimbocca is best with delicate veal, not with sliced chicken breast. goes so great with braised spinach.
    But veal's not that easy to get anymore here in New Zealand. Forget trying to find it at any supermarket; you have to find a decent butcher, and it's not cheap like veal used to be. Is it still easy to find in Sydney?
