Prosciutto rolls with cheese filling topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup fresh ricotta, room temperature
- 1/4 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/4 tbsp. freshly grated parmesan
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 12 thin slices (220 g) Italian prosciutto cotto ham
- 3/4 cup chopped giardiniera (Italian pickled vegetables)
Preparation:
- In a bowl, mix ricotta, rosemary, Parmesan and olive oil with a silicone spatula until smooth.
- Place 2 slices of prosciutto cotto lengthwise in front of you on a board, overlapping them halfway and patching any gaps if necessary. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle the side closest to you with 2 tablespoons of giardiniera and lightly press it into the cheese mixture. Roll the prosciutto up, starting from the edge closest to you and working your way toward the opposite side.
- Repeat with the remaining prosciutto and filling. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set. Before serving, unwrap the rolls and use a sharp knife to cut into 2cm-thick rolls.
