  • to taste freshly ground pepper
  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 6 leaves fresh sage
  • 1/2 cup flour (Lightly coat the veal.)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pound Veal: Using a meat mallet, gently pound each veal cutlet between sheets of plastic wrap to about 1/8 inch thick. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Layer Ingredients: On each cutlet, layer 2-3 slices of prosciutto and 2-3 fresh sage leaves, securing with toothpicks.
  3. Dredge: Lightly coat the veal cutlets in flour, shaking off excess.
  4. Cook Veal: In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter, then sauté veal pieces until prosciutto is crispy, about 1 minute per side.
  5. Make Sauce: Discard excess oil, deglaze with marsala, add chicken stock, reduce, then stir in remaining butter.
  6. Serve: Transfer veal to a platter, drizzle with sauce, or serve on the side.
