Saltimbocca

Saltimbocca is a classic Italian dish made with thinly sliced veal, prosciutto, and sage. The name saltimbocca means "jump in the mouth," and that's exactly what this dish will do!

Saltimbocca has its origins in Rome, and there are many variations of the dish throughout Italy. The most common version is made with veal, but chicken or pork can also be used.

The dish is said to have been created by Roman soldiers who wanted a quick and easy meal that they could take with them on the battlefield. Saltimbocca was the perfect food for them because it was easy to eat and could be made quickly.
