Saltimbocca is easily one of my favourite Roman-style dishes. The Italian Nonna who taught me to make it served hers with sautéed green beans and tomatoes – I’ve been making it the same way ever since. Traditionally made with veal cutlets, I’ve made mine with pork fillet because they’re easier to buy but you could also use chicken if you wanted to.

2 tbsp olive oil
1 pork fillet

12 slices prosciutto
4 tbsp plain flour
Sea salt and black pepper
