Carla's Kitchen Capers: Pork Saltimbocca

I love pork so today I decided to make a classic Italian dish saltimbocca which translates into "jump in your mouth". If you order this in a restaurant it would cost you at least $15-20 dollars depending on where you live, it cost me about $10 dollars to make 3 servings and that's kind of on the high side of estimating. Also, it takes no time to make about 30 minutes start to finish depending on what your serving with it.

6 thin sliced pork cutlet pounded out
6 sliced of prosciutto
6 fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup of cognac
1/4 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup of chicken stock
3 tablespoons of butter
3 tablespoons of olive oil
seasoned flour
salt and pepper to taste

Season the cutlets with salt and pepper on one side and place a slice of prosciutto and a sage leave on top of each cutlet, roll up and secure with a toothpick. Next dredge in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Now set a skillet on medium high flame and add the butter and oil. Brown the pork on all sides, remove from the pan and set aside. Meanwhile make the sauce, deglaze the pan with the cognac and reduce to a syrupy consistency. Now add the cream and chicken stock, bring to a boil return the pork and it's resting juices and simmer about 2-5 minutes depending on how thick the rolls are (do not over cook or the pork will be tough). Taste the sauce and re season if needed, plate the pork and top with the sauce. I served it with rice pilaf and a side salad.
