Schnitzel with Ham and Sage

Ingredients

• 8 slices pork schnitzel (about 80 g each)
• 8 slices Parma ham
• 8 sage leaves
• 3 tbsp butter
• 125 ml sweet wine (e.g., Marsala)
• Salt
• Pepper (freshly ground)
• sage leaf for garnish

Instructions

1. 1.

   Gently flatten the schnitzels with the flat side of a meat mallet. Place one sage leaf on each schnitzel and wrap it with a slice of ham, securing with a toothpick if needed. Melt 2 tbsp butter in a pan. Add the schnitzels and sear for 1-2 minutes per side. Lightly season with salt and pepper, then remove.

2. 2.

   Deglaze the pan with Marsala wine, bringing to a vigorous boil. Whisk in 1 tbsp butter into the sauce. Taste and return the schnitzels briefly to the pan to heat through.

3. 3.

   Plate the schnitzels drizzled with sauce and garnish with sage leaves.
