What a terrific idea. From the good folks at Bon Appetit Magazine comes this easy way to cook your whole dinner on one sheet pan. The timing for this recipe to appear couldn’t be better. Most of my remaining kitchen supplies are in boxes sealed and ready to accompany us back to North Carolina. It was so convenient to turn the oven on and cook the whole dinner in one pan.
Saltimbocca is Italian for “jumps in the mouth”. Usually it is made with veal that is pounded thin, wrapped in prosciutto with a sage leaf underneath, sauteed in butter and then simmered in dry white wine. This unconventional treatment starts with potatoes and onions seasoned with lots of sage and olive oil and cooked in a hot oven. The boneless pork chops topped with the prosciutto are then added to the pan to continue cooking until they are done. I also added asparagus.
This was a flavorful dinner with very little effort. We are headed back to North Carolina with a small u-haul trailer. I am proud that I can include that word “small”. We will miss our Florida home but are looking forward to the different travel opportunities we now have.
SHEET PAN PORK SALTIMBOCCA
- 2 1-inch-thick slices boneless pork loin (6–8 ounces each)
- 1 1/2 cups dry white wine
- 2 onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound small (2-inch-diameter) Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
- 1/8 cup chopped fresh sage leaves
- 4 thin slices prosciutto
- Asparagus spears drizzled with olive oil, optional
-
Preheat oven to 450°. Pierce pork slices all over with the tip of a paring knife. Place in a dish just large enough to hold pork in a single layer. Pour wine over and let marinate at room temperature while preparing other ingredients.
-
Place onions in a medium bowl, drizzle with 1 Tbsp. oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat without breaking up slices. Transfer onions to prepared baking sheet, spreading out in an even layer. Combine remaining 2 Tbsp. oil, potatoes, and sage in same bowl; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Place potatoes on sheet, tucking in among onions.
-
Roast onion-potato mixture until potatoes are beginning to brown around the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove pork from wine and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper and top each pork slice with 2 prosciutto slices. Place pork on baking sheet atop potatoes and onions. Add asparagus spears if desired. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center of pork registers 135°, about 15 minutes. (After 10 minutes, I turned pork chops over to brown more evenly. I lifted the prosciutto , turned the chops and placed the prosciutto back on the chops.) Remove pan from oven and let rest, covered with foil for about 10 minutes. Serve.

I really like one pan meals and this one looks outstanding.
Thanks Larry.
I make a sausage one..this looks great..I just forwarded your post to Jacques to see if he’d like this 2nite:)Have a nice MD weekend..you must be anxious to just relax back home.
Thanks Monique. I am looking at boxes and a few pieces of furniture right now. Have a feeling MD weekend will be a work weekend. The house is a mess.
I’m going to be giving this a try next week. Love the ease of sheet pan meals. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it TAC. You could use chicken or sausage instead of pork if you would prefer it.
Great idea for leftovers too! Donna Hay does the sheet pan meal off and on…I think those meals are the best!
I need to check out Donna Hay more often Barbara. She is amazing.
What a great idea and everything on the sheet pan looks delicious!! Hope you have a safe return to the lake.
Made it back to the lake Susan. Long drive, but we arrived safely with all of our stuff in good shape. Unpacking today and tomorrow. Not the way I wanted to spend Memorial Day Weekend.
That sounds great!! Safe travels home.
We are home trying to find places for all of the extras. Not many, but the house was already full. Goodwill will love us this week.
We can all use an easy but tasty meal like this one. Happy to know that you arrived home safely. I know that you will miss Florida but you now will have more travel options without the hassle of owning two homes. Know all about that…we are happy with our decision and I know the two of you will be as well. Just sorry we couldn’t have met up before you left the state.
Wish we could have met up too Karen. But who knows, we may rent something next year near you!
I love dinners like this! It looks delicious. And ‘Bonne Chance’ for your new life adventures…. how exciting!
Thanks Katie. Now we can visit France more often.
