Tips for Experienced Cooks
To elevate the dish, consider using high-quality, aged prosciutto for an enhanced flavor profile. When roasting the vegetables, add a splash of balsamic vinegar for a touch of acidity and depth. For the sauce, using homemade chicken broth and reducing a good quality dry white wine thoroughly will significantly enhance the flavor. Experiment with herbs other than sage, such as rosemary or thyme, to create a different flavor profile that complements the pork.
