Recipe video above. This rustic Italian classic is fabulously quick to make thanks to thin slices of veal that cook in 2 1/2 minutes flat. Traditionally made with veal, Saltimbocca is also excellent with chicken or beef. The trick to a great Saltimbocca sauce is to slowly melt in cubes of cold butter by swirling the pan off the heat. This thickens the sauce and makes it luxuriously silky. It's a stunner! Serve with mashed potato, cauliflower mash or mop your plate clean with bread.
