Saltimbocca (UK: /ˌsæltɪmˈbɒkə, -ˈbkə/, US: /ˌsɔːl-/, Italian: [ˌsaltimˈbokka]; lit.'[it] jump[s] in the mouth') is an Italian dish (also popular in southern Switzerland). It consists of veal that has been wrapped (lined) with prosciutto and sage and then marinated in wine, oil or salt water, depending on the region or one's own taste.

The original version of this dish is saltimbocca alla romana (lit.'Roman-style saltimbocca'),[1] which consists of veal, prosciutto and sage, rolled up and cooked in dry white wine and butter. Marsala is sometimes used. Also, sometimes the veal and prosciutto are not rolled up but left flat. An American variation replaces the veal with chicken or pork.[2][3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
