1 lb thinly sliced leg of veal for scaloppine
salt
2 oz of prosciutto, sliced paper thin
1 x or 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 oz of mozzarella, cut into quarter sizes
1 x recipe of filetto di pomodoro prepared without garlic (any basic tomato
sauce will do)
a few tbsp grated parmigiano reggiano cheese
Instructions:
Instructions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut each slice of veal into 2 or 3 pieces so that
each piece is not more than 3 inches square. In a 10 inch skillet, heat the oil and when very hot, pat the veal pieces dry with paper towel and add to the oil. Cook no more than 3 or 4 pieces at the time. Cook about 1 minute on each side then transfer to baking dish or heat proof platter. Season with salt. Cut the slices of prosciutto to roughly fit the veal pieces. Tuck in the excess prosciutto so none overlaps the veal. Top each veal slice with 2 or quarter size slices of mozzarella. The cheese should not entirely cover the meat. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of tomato sauce over each piece. Sprinkle lightly with grated parmigiano.. just before serving, bake the veal in a preheated 450 degree oven for 5 minutes. The mozzarella should melt but not bubble. serve immediately.
