amanda

Equipment

  • Skillet (Fry Pan) - Essential for sautéing ingredients such as the prosciutto and spinach in this recipe.

  • Cutting Board - Useful for chopping vegetables like spinach, slicing pork chops, or even preparing other ingredients involved in the dish.

  • Measuring Cups & Spoons - Important for accurately measuring out spices and liquids to ensure proper seasoning of the saltimbocca sauce.

  • Whisk - Useful if you want to make a simple olive oil-based reduction or emulsion to accompany the dish, enhancing its flavor profile.

  • Food Processor (Optional) - Can be used for finely chopping ingredients like prosciutto and garlic quickly if desired.

  • Cheese Grater - Useful for grating Parmesan or another hard cheese as a garnish over your finished dish.

  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula - Essential for stirring and flipping ingredients in pans without scratching surfaces.

  • Large Mixing Bowl (for preparation) - Useful for mixing the sauce ingredients or combining breadcrumbs with prosciutto.

  • Paper Towels (Optional) - Can be used to pat dry cooked meat before assembly, ensuring a better sauté and sear in the final step.

  • Olive Oil Spray Bottle (Optional) - To lightly coat the pan if you prefer not to use oil directly for health reasons or greasing purposes.
