Roman Food: Saltimbocca

This is typical Roman dish and a staunch menu stalwart- appearing as a 'Secondo Piatto' in restaurants and kitchens across the City. 

'Saltimbocca' literally means 'jump in your mouth'. Such an apt title of a dish I have never known - these tender, tasty little morsels of meat literally melt in your mouth.  

Its a simple and happy combination - small veal cutlets, lined with prosciutto and sage leaves.  

I've included the recipe below but it's so simple it would probably take you longer to read a haiku. 

Method   

Take the small veal cutlets and lightly fry in a high quality olive oil. Take a cocktail stick and layer a sage leaf on top of a piece of prosciutto. As soon as the veal begins to colour, pierce the cocktail stick through the meat to soak up all of those lovely juices. Add a splash of white wine if you fancy and serve hot.

It's worth being stuck in a human traffic jam for. Read all about the donkey burgers at one of Catania's most popular restaurants in the link above ☝️
Oh aren't you lovely. It took two hundred years to build this beauty, following the 1693 eathquake which destroyed Catania. Completed in the late 19th century, its named after local born composer Vincenzo Bellini . FYI they love Bellini here
