Simple, stylish and delicious starter. So easy to make and can be prepared in advance, perfect for dinner parties as it tastes as beautifull as it presents!! Ingredients:
16 asparagus spears, trimmed |
125g ball mozzarella , sliced into 4 |
8-12 slices prosciutto |
3 tbsp olive oil |
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar |
a small bunch basil , finely shredded |
salad leaves to serve |
Directions:
1. Blanch the asparagus for 2 minutes then refresh under cold water. 2. Cut each mozzarella slice in half and sit both pieces on top of 2 spears of asparagus. 3. Top with 2 more spears then wrap the asparagus in prosciutto so the mozzarella is enclosed (you will need 2 or 3 strips). 4. Heat a little olive oil in a pan, then carefully fry the parcels until the prosciutto has crisped and the mozzarella oozes. 5. Whisk together the olive oil and vinegar and add the basil. 6. Serve each parcel with salad leaves and a little dressing drizzled over. |
