Ingredients

4 boneless center-cut pork chops (1/2 inch thick; 5 ounces each)

Kosher salt

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 large shallot, finely chopped

8 fresh sage leaves

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

5 thin slices prosciutto (about 3 ounces), 1 slice chopped

1 cup grated fontina cheese (about 2 ounces)

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 10-ounce package frozen peas

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler. Season the pork with salt. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, dredge the pork in the flour and add to the skillet; reserve the flour. Cook until browned, 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium; add the shallot to the skillet and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high. Add the sage and 2 teaspoons of the reserved flour. Cook until sizzling, 30 seconds. Add the wine; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, 2 minutes. Add 1 cup broth; return to a boil and cook until thickened, 2 minutes. Add the pork; return to a simmer. Top each chop with a prosciutto slice, then the cheeses. Broil until bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped prosciutto; cook until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peas, the remaining 1/4 cup broth and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover; cook until the peas are tender, 5 minutes. Uncover; increase the heat to medium high. Cook until the liquid is reduced, 1 minute. Serve with the pork.

This is the weirdest saltimbocca recipe I have ever seen. Normally thin pork cutlets are topped with sage and prosciutto and fried. There is no cheese involved. What were you guys thinking? Were you inventing the wheel?
