Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 4 slices Prosciutto
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 0.5 cup Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Place each pork cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4-inch thick.
Season both sides of each cutlet with salt and pepper.
Place 2 sage leaves on each cutlet, then lay a slice of prosciutto on top, pressing lightly to adhere to the meat.
Dredge the cutlets lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the cutlets in the skillet, prosciutto side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the cutlets and set them aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add the white wine to the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits.
Add chicken stock and lemon juice. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
Return the cutlets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for 2 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately, spooning additional sauce over each cutlet. Pair the dish with sautéed vegetables or a light salad for an elegant meal.
