Ingredients
4 pork loin slices (about 150-200 g each)
8 Prosciutto Crudo San Francesco slices
200 g of fresh spinach
100 g of cheese (provolone, fontina or mozzarella)
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 egg
Flour to taste
Pangrattato to taste
Toothpicks
PREPARATION
Spinach preparation:
- Wash the spinach
- Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan and add 2 garlic cloves
- When the oil is hot, add the spinach and cook over medium-high heat until it will be wilted
- Remove garlic cloves
- Drain the spinach to remove the excess water and let it cool down
- Then chop them coarsely
Cutlets preparation:
- Take the pork loin slices and flatten them with a meat tenderizer to an even thickness of about 1 cm
- Season the pork slices with salt and pepper on both sides
- Spread a portion of chopped spinach on each slice of meat and add a few slices of cheese
- Roll each pork slice on itself, forming a roll
- Wrap each roll with 2 Prosciutto Crudo San Francesco slices, making sure to cover the entire surface
- Secure the rolls with toothpicks to prevent them from opening during cooking
Breadcrumbs preparation:
- Beat the egg in a deep dish and put each roll first in flour, then in beaten egg and finally in breadcrumbs, making sure it is well covered.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan
- When the oil is hot, add the rolls and cook over medium heat, turning them often, until they will be golden and crispy on both sides (about 15-20 minutes). If necessary, transfer the rolls to an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) for an additional 10 minutes to make sure the meat is well cooked inside
- Remove the toothpicks from the rolls and serve the pork cutlets wrapped in Prosciutto Crudo San Francesco, stuffed with cheese and spinach, hot, accompanied by a side of vegetables or a fresh salad
Enjoy!
