Pound the veal escalopes thin between two sheets of cling film and season lightly with pepper.

Dust only the veal side lightly with the flour and shake off the excess.
Heat half of the olive oil in a large pan and fry the escalopes ham side down for 2 minutes, then flip and cook 1 minute more. Set them aside.
Pour the white wine into the same pan, scrape up the browned bits and simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces to a glossy sauce.
In a second pan, warm the remaining oil with the sliced garlic, add the spinach and stir for 2 minutes until wilted, then squeeze in the lemon juice.
Spoon the pan sauce over the saltimbocca and serve with the lemony spinach.
