Saltimbocca with pork topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 natural boneless pork cutlets (center cut) weighing 200-220 g, approximately 2 cm thick.
- 4 large sage leaves
- 8 thin slices prosciutto
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 slices provolone cheese (about 100 g)
- 450 g small spinach
- Juice of 1 lemon + wedges for serving
- 1 large shallot, finely chopped, or 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
- 2/3 cup lightly salted chicken broth
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 220°C, season pork with salt and pepper.
- Top each patty with a sage leaf, then wrap in 2 slices of prosciutto. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties, sage-side down, and cook, turning once, until the prosciutto is crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet (set the skillet aside) and bake until a thermometer inserted into the center of the patty registers 145°F (63°C), about 8 minutes.
- Top each patty with a slice of provolone cheese; bake until melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the spinach in a microwave-safe bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon water, and a pinch of salt. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 3 minutes, until the spinach is wilted; drain. Sprinkle with half the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the same pan over medium heat; add the shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the broth and simmer until reduced by half. Add the remaining lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the pork among plates, pour the sauce from the pan over it. Serve with spinach and lemon wedges.
