Cod Saltimbocca – Roman inspired recipe

We are continuing with the wonderful Rome series where I create recipes inspired by the beautiful central Italian region. SALTIMBOCCA ALLA ROMANA is a wonderful recipe traditionally made with veal wrapped in parma ham, sage and then cooked in wine. I experienced the real deal last year, on my Italian food trip at restaurant, Ai Spaghettari which was served with a wonderful bowl of garlicky cicorie (green leafy veg). It was super flavoursome and I recommend it as a must have dish, if planning to travel to the Italian capital city.

Back in my Peckham kitchen, I wanted to re-create my own healthier version, as I try to limit my meat intake to once a week and usually enjoy my carnivore side on the weekends. So, I’ve replaced the veal with white fish, cod to be exact. However, any white fish will do as long as it has a lovely meaty texture.

Here, I have for you COD SALTIMBOCCA – a Roman inspired recipe.
