  • preparation 10 minutes
  • cooking 15 minutes
  • difficulty Easy level

Ingredients

For the pork

  • 3 tsp (15 ml) olive oil
  • ½ pork fillet
  • 6 sage leaves
  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 25 g plain flour
  • Sea salt and black pepper

For the green beans

  • 1 gloves garlic, minced
  • 75 g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 125 g greens beans
  • 50 ml white wine

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice 6 even slices from the pork fillet diagonally. Lay each slice flat on a chopping board and gently bash with a meat hammer or rolling pin until approximately 5mm in thickness. Top each slice with a sage leaf, season with salt and black pepper and wrap with a slice of prosciutto.
  2. Place the flour in a wide dish and dredge each slice until completely coated, patting off any excess.
  3. Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Cook the slices for 2 minutes on each side or until the pork has cooked through and the prosciutto becomes crispy.
  4. Add the garlic in the pan for a minute or so before adding the cherry tomatoes, green beans and white wine and cook for 4-5 minutes until the beans are tender. You may need to add a splash of water to bring things together.
  5. Serve slices of the saltimbocca with the green beans and tuck in.
