1.Cut each prosciutto slice lengthways into 3 equal strips.

2.Thread prosciutto and beef onto 8 skewers. Thread a lemon wedge onto end of each skewer.

3.Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan over moderately high heat. Cook skewers, turning, 5 minutes for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking.

4.Add zest, juice, capers and rosemary to pan. Cook, turning, a further 2 minutes, or until sauce thickens slightly.

6.To serve, spoon mash onto plates. Top with beans and skewers. Drizzle with sauce then serve at once.

Saltimbocca is Italian for ‘jump in the mouth’; the combination of lemon, herbs and capers in this recipe ensures this happens. Heating oil and butter together adds flavour and prevents butter burning.
