Ask for paper-thin slices of meat at the deli counter. Ingredients:
1 ripe pear, unpeeled |
1/2 cup lemon-lime soft drink |
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 pear into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices (about 16). Toss together pear slices and lemon-lime soft drink to prevent browning; drain. Place 1 pear 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 pear 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.
