Veal Saltimbocca Recipe

Monday, January 3, 2011
Well, this is our family version of the Veal Saltimbocca Recipe...as you all know there is no real right or wrong way to cook, my preference is always with mushrooms, and those are never found in the authentic version...I just love the mushrooms with this dish leave them out if you dislike them and usually served on a bed of spinach.


I also love making a homemade noodle recipe to serve alongside this dish, just add butter on the noodles a little grating cheese, black pepper, and some crushed garlic..you can adapt this any way you like and mix in a little of the sauce. It's delicious!











Other Alternatives and Substitutions

  • chicken breast pounded and boneless pork tenderloin, filet mignon
  • substitute any kind of mushrooms you prefer
  • use boiled escarole instead of spinach or broccoli rabe

  13. I agree...it's gotta have lots of mushrooms ;o)
    Strangely enough, the one time I made veal...I messed it up big time...and never went back to making it again. I think I should give it another try...it looks so good.

    Ciao for now,
    Claudia
