    Wash the sage, dab dry and remove the leaves. Cut mozzarella into 8 slices. Wash the meat, dab dry. Cut open freezer bag. Place meat in between, pat thinner with a flat iron or pot bottom.

    Season lightly with salt. Cover cutlets with 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of mozzarella cheese and 1 sage leaf. Roll up meat tightly. Fix with wooden skewers.

    For the polenta, boil 1 l water. Dissolve the broth, pour in the polenta while stirring and bring to the boil again. Let it swell for 10-15 minutes at low heat, stirring from time to time. Grate the parmesan finely.
