The Chew: Five in Five
Scrooge hates spending money during the holidays or anytime. But Michael Symon came to the rescue with one of his Five in Five recipes, for Pork Saltimbocca. Could he get the dish done in time?
Crisping the prosciutto on the outside will give you additional texture and delicious crust. Pork should cook to about 150 F in the center, according to Michael Symon. As a result, these thin cuts will cook very quickly.
Despite Mario Batali actively rooting for his failure, Symon had time to spare in getting this dish on the table.
The Chew: Michael Symon Pork Saltimbocca Recipe Ingredients
Get a head start by having your butcher pound medallions thin. Tougher cuts would work well because of the thinness and quick cooking time. If the pan gets too hot, add a bit more oil to bring the temperature down.
It doesn’t take much time or money to make Michael Symon’s deliciously thin and decadent entree idea for Pork Saltimbocca, as demonstrated on The Chew.
