Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 10 minutes

Saltimbocca made from pork loin

Wash and pat dry the pork loin. Halve the plum ham or Black Forest ham and press it onto the loins along with a sage leaf. Meanwhile, heat the pan and add oil. Once the oil is hot, place the saltimbocca in the pan, ham side down. Depending on the thickness of the slices, turn the meat over after about two to four minutes and fry the underside until browned. Arrange on plates and serve immediately. Potato gratin or simply plain white bread is a particularly good side dish. Tip: If desired, you can make a sauce from the meat juices by simply adding water and cream.
