Ask for paper-thin slices of meat at the deli counter. To ease prep, look for a package of presliced mango in the produce section. We do not recommend jarred mango slices—they're too soft. Ingredients:
1 ripe mango, peeled |
1 1/2 cups loosely packed arugula |
1 (1-oz.) package fresh basil |
4 very thin prosciutto or country ham slices |
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Cut mango into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices (about 16). Place 1 mango slice on top of 3 arugula leaves and 1 to 2 basil leaves.
2. Cut each prosciutto slice lengthwise into 4 strips. Wrap center of each mango bundle with 1 prosciutto strip. Arrange on a serving platter, and sprinkle with pepper.
3. Note: To make ahead, prepare recipe as directed. Cover bites with damp paper towels, and chill 30 minutes.
4. Prosciutto-Wrapped Melon Bites: Substitute half of 1 small cantaloupe or honeydew for mango. Proceed with recipe as directed.
5. Proscuitto-Wrapped Pear Bites: Substitute 1 ripe pear, unpeeled, for mango. Cut pear as directed in Step 1. Toss together pear slices and 1/2 cup lemon-lime soft drink to prevent browning; drain. Proceed with recipe as directed.
6. Proscuitto-Wrapped Apple Bites: Substitute 1 Gala apple, unpeeled, for mango. Cut apple as directed in Step 1. Toss together apple slices and 1/2 cup lemon-lime soft drink to prevent browning; drain. Proceed with recipe as directed.
7. Note: To make ahead, prepare recipe as directed. Cover bites with damp paper towels, and chill 30 minutes.
