I cannot deny that I love prosciutto. It is the Italian version of bacon but it is not smoked. I love the sweet taste of it that blends with its saltiness. Also, prosciutto is very versatile that it can be used for a starter recipe, salads, and even on main course like pasta or together with steak. I have yet to publish all the exciting prosciutto recipes that I made and have discovered. A Prosciutto Salad recipe I have published here almost a year ago have received lots of great feedback from our readers. If you haven’t tried it then give it a go now.
Now, let me give you this very simple and easy prosciutto starter. All you need are the following ingredients: Tomatoes, sliced mozzarella cheese, basil leaves, caramelized balsamic/ balsamic concentrate, ground black pepper, olive oil and prosciutto slices.
Procedure: Slice the tomatoes about 1cm thick. Arrange on a serving platter and top with mozzarella slices, followed with basil leaves. Drizzle the olive oil on top as well as the balsamic concentrate. Season with black pepper. Arrange on its side the slices of prosciutto. You can also put the slices of prosciutto in between the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese instead of separating them on the plate.
Alternative serving idea: You can arrange the ingredients in mini skewers by using cherry tomatoes instead and cutting the mozzarella in cubes. This will definitely look beautiful on the party table!
This is a favorite Italian entree. The combination of all the flavors of ingredients is fantastic. Bon apetit!
