Po-style Veal Saltimbocca

Where does [evil] come from, then? The only way to get a bad thing is to take a good thing and spoil it. For example, darkness isn’t made up from nothing; you get it by blocking the light. Disease isn’t made up from nothing; you get it by ruining health. Notice that this doesn’t work the other way around – you can’t get light by blocking darkness or health by ruining disease. So God created only good things, but some of them have been spoiled.

INSTRUCTIONS

Note: See the "Basic Tomato Sauce" recipe which is included in this
collection.  Lay thin slices of veal on counter and season with salt
and pepper.  Place 1 slice prosciutto di parma in center of each and 2
sage leaves  over the prosciutto. Dust edges of 4 pieces with the
seasoned flour.  Place 4 remaining pieces of veal over the 4 on the
counter. Massage  the edges together so they stick together and set
aside. Flour  outsides and place into bread crumbs, patting so the
bread crumbs  adhere. In a 12- to 14-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons
of the sweet  butter until bubbling over medium heat. Place 4 veal
"sandwiches" in  pan and cook slowly until golden brown. Turn and cook
other side the  same manner. Remove veal carefully and set aside in a
warm place.  Turn the heat to high and add marsala, Basic Tomato Sauce,
chicken  stock and domestic mushrooms. Bring to a boil and reduce by
half. Add  remaining sweet butter and 4 veal "sandwiches." Simmer 10
minutes,  add chopped parsley and serve. This recipe yields 4 servings.
