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]
