DS Cooking Guide: Saltimbocca alla Romana
Yes, I bought the cooking not-game. Shut up. It's aimed directly at me.
My husband and I were incredulous that the recipes in Cooking Guide could taste good when made as is, so we've decided to try out recipes and review them with photos until we get sick of the whole exercise.
We tried the saltimbocca first, and while it doesn't look so crash hot it tasted great! Substituting ground sage for the fresh sage leaf and speck for the prosciutto didn't mess with the recipe much at all.
Our lack of a meat tenderiser combined with a lack of respect for the recipe's insistence on the meat tenderiser is where things fell down a bit - getting the speck and the veal to stick together needed a bit more of a beating. Didn't affect the taste though! ;)
