Thank you both for the prompt feedback, I always appreciate a learning opportunity. The meal was indeed completely delicious,and simply prepared by design. It was meant to be a way to participate in the contest and use items I already had on hand since this is a week that we had a tight budget and also had to factor in the cost of extra supplies for an impending hurricane. (probably not a big one, but after Katrina I don't think aneone can be too careful)
I wanted the spirit of Saltimbocca alla Romana to be conveyed, but using more practical (for us) ingredients. I would have loved to used proscuitto, as addressed by >>3834980, but the only store in the tiny little town I live in simply does not carry it. So I used the blanched bacon instead. I chose to leave the capers out. I do regret not grating some lemon zest over the top though.
I am not able to recreate my saltimbocca for you at this time, but I can provide you with another photo (pic related). The rice is a pilaf made with toasted orzo, onions, wine, broth, and medium grain Louisiana rice. Thank you again, gentlemen.
