Instructions
- Put the canned tomatoes, passed through a food mill, along with fresh parsley, salt and pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil, in a saucepan and let simmer for 10 minutes or so, until reduced but not too thick.
- Trim off any fat or gristle from the veal scallops. Pat them dry, then lightly pound them with a meat pounder or the back of a skillet to flatten them out a little. Season them generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Season the scallops on both sides with salt and pepper, then lightly dust them with flour. Then, over a lively flame, brown them lightly on both sides in a combination of butter and olive oil, working in batches if need be. As they brown, remove the scallops to a baking dish large enough to hold them all in one layer, which you will have greased with a bit of olive oil. Degrease the skillet with a good splash of white wine, and nap the veal scallops with the juices.
- Lay a slice of prosciutto over each veal scallop, trimmed if need be to roughly fit the size of the scallop. Over the prosciutto lay a slice or two of the mozzarella. Then nap each scallop lightly with a spoonful or two of the tomato sauce. Drizzle a bit more white wine along the sides into the baking dish. The drizzle some olive oil over the scallops.
- Bake the scallops in a very hot (260C/500F) oven for 5 minutes or so, just until the wine is bubbling and the cheese has completely melted. Serve your saltimbocca alla sorrentina hot from the baking dish, sprinkled if you like with a bit of fresh parsley for color.
