Veal schnitzel – very tender

Carefully enlarge the meat with the heel of your hand, then season with pepper. Wash the sage leaves, place two sage leaves on each escalope, and cover with a slice of Parma ham. Press the ham firmly onto the meat to prevent air bubbles from forming. Sprinkle a little flour onto a plate and carefully toss the escalopes in it, making sure the ham stays pressed down. Lightly brown the butter in a pan over medium heat. Place the veal escalopes in the pan, ham side down, and fry for 20 seconds (!) on each side. Then keep the meat warm on a plate in an 80°C oven. Deglaze the pan’s cooking juices with white wine and meat stock, then reduce by half. Season to taste and serve with the meat. Serve with white bread, salad, and full-bodied white wine.
