Saltimbocca means ‘leaps in the mouth’
Pork Fillet (one piece)
Parma ham or Proscuttion (they are the same thing, but don’t say that if front of a Spaniard or Italian)
Sage leaves (fresh)
Butter
1-2 (or more) cloves of Garlic
Slice the pork fillet thinly, lay on a sheet of greaseproof paper, cover with a second and bash to flatten with a mallet or a rolling pin.
Curse and suck fingers, do it again more carefully.
season with salt and black pepper
place a piece of Prosciutto onto each piece of pork, then add a sage leaf, pin the whole lot together with a cocktail stick.
Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the garlic – crushed ideally (or you can use lazy garlic like me)
Fry the pork 2-3 minutes a side, serve with crusty bread or Dauphinois potatoes.
