Veal Saltimbocca Roulade

Disclosure: This post for Veal Saltimbocca Roulade has been sponsored by Veal Farmers of Ontario, however all thoughts and opinions are honest and my own.

Tender and flavourful, nobody will believe that this Veal Saltimbocca Roulade comes together in just 15 minutes.

Veal is featured prominently in French, Italian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Its history can be traced back to Roman times as one of the oldest food animals we raise.

Veal Saltimbocca is a traditional Roman dish that is made of the tenderest veal cooked flat with sage and prosciutto.

Saltimbocca means “jump into your mouth”.  That says it all really, it is a crowd-pleasing dish that is bound to be a favourite when entertaining family and friends, but also so easy to make that it can be a weekday favourite too.

I have prepared it a little different here as I think it’s a little easier to cook to perfection in rolled form.
