Ciliegia Pork Medallions in Montepulciano Veal Demi Glaze Sauce by Bob Vincent

Salmon Saltimbocca

Salmon Saltimbocca by Bob Vincent

This is a wide left turn on Saltimbocca ala Romano normally made with Veal Scaloppine. I used salmon instead. Saltimbocca translates into "Jump-In-The-Mouth."

I use two methods to make funghi trifolati, and both are equally easy:

Spaghetti alla cipolla rossa e alici by Frank Fariello

This was not a dish my grandmother Angelina ever made, as far as I know, but it is certainly the kind of pasta-cum-vegetable dish that formed the foundation of her culinary repertoire.
