Saltimbocca
Saltimbocca
8 veal girello steaks
8 sage leaves
4 slices prosciutto cut in half
1/4 cup flour for dusting
2 tbs olive oil
25g butter
3 tbs dry white wine
2 tbs chicken stock
salt and pepper
Nuts & Bolts
1. Tenderize the veal steaks with a meat mallet to a thin thickness.
2. Place a piece of prosciutto and a sage leaf on each steak. Fold one corner of the steaks to enclose the sage and prosciutto and tap again with the mallet to keep them closed. Lightly dust the steaks with flour.
3. In a large frying pan on medium heat add oil and butter add the veal steaks. Cook quickly on one side until light golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Turn over steaks adding the stock and wine. Cook for another 2 minutes.
I live in Adelaide (Australia) with my husband, my two adorable Norwegian cats ( Zeus and Zena ), a chicken, and a pigeon who now also thinks that he is a chicken! My ancestry is French so it goes without saying that my favourite place is Paris. The food, culture and atmosphere of Paris is nothing short of amazing.
I am a self taught home cook who loves big flavours in food. My passion for food surfaced when I was 10 years old, watching TV chef Ian Hewitson and learning different techniques. Since then, the food of Adrian Richardson and Jamie Oliver has been my inspiration. I love how one can create a healthy full flavoured meal from just the simplest of ingredients. I especially love chilli and garlic and use them in most of my food.
I enjoy hosting dinner parties for friends and family. Curries and rustic style dishes are my firm favorites and I know that my family and friends all agree! Just place it all in the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves enjoying great food with good company.
I create flavoursome low calorie recipes which are featured on the internationally known website Weigh Yourself Slim.
Whilst I enjoy cooking I still love to go out to restaurants, especially when you discover ones with amazing food and that you must try and replicate at home!
So welcome to CCKFOOD. It is my creative playground where I am able to share my love of good food with you all. Enjoy.
