PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED GREENS



Prosciutto-wrapped Greens image

From the Cooking Fresh 2005 issue of The Best of Fine Cooking. It states that this little bite, with its contrasting flavors and textures (smooth, salty prosciutto versus crisp peppery greens) will surely stimulate your appetite. If the prosciutto is very long, cut each piece in half crosswise first. I have subbed a baby green mix for the mesclun or arugula due to availability.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound haricots verts, trimmed
16 thin slices proscuitto
3 cloves Govind Amstrong's Roasted Garlic
2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bunches frisee, white veins removed
8 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves torn
2 small sprigs fresh basil, leaves torn
3/4 cup Govind Armstrong's Roasted Tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
Shaved Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath. Add haricots verts and cook until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to ice-water bath until cool. Drain and place in a refrigerator until chilled.
  • Place 4 slices proscuitto on a parchment-lined baking sheet; bake until just crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a food processor or in a mortar and pestle mash together roasted garlic and mustard. Transfer to a small bowl and whisk in sherry and red-wine vinegars until smooth. Slowly whisk in olive oil; season with salt and pepper and set vinaigrette aside.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together frisee, parsley, basil, and haricot verts. Drizzle with enough vinaigrette to coat.
  • Lay 8 of the remaining slices of proscuitto on a flat surface. Cut remaining 4 slices in half lengthwise, and slightly overlap each slice over the 8 whole slices to increase their width. Divide the salad into 8 equal portions and place each portion in the center of one end of each piece of proscuitto, allowing at least 1 inch of the salad mixture to protrude from each of the short ends. Gently and tightly roll the proscuitto so that it fully encloses the salad.
  • Slice each proscuitto roll into thirds and serve with crisped proscuitto, roasted tomatoes, and Parmesan.

Essential Cooking Guidelines, Valuable Insights, and Comprehensive Finale:

Essential Cooking Guidelines:

  • Carefully select and rinse the cannellini or other white variety of choice. Opt for a plump, not shriveled, variety.
  • Blanch the cannellini in boiling water until soft throughout. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  • Ensure the prosciutto slices are thin enough. If too thick, cut them thinner or use a meat mallet to flatten them slightly.
  • Blanch the blanched cannellini in a mixture of hot milk and melted butter, salt, and sage.
  • Skewer the blanched cannellini and prosciutto slices with a toothpick to prevent them from unraveling during cooking.
  • Use a cast- or non-stick skillet for searing the cannellini. This prevents sticking and ensures an even, golden brown color.
  • Avoid overcrowding the skillet. Cook the cannellini in batches if necessary to achieve a nice crust.
  • Garnish the cannellini with fresh sage and a drizzle of the blanching liquid before serving.

Conclusion:

  • These Prosciutto-Wrapped Beans are the perfect combination of flavors and textures. Crispy prosciutto, creamy cannellini, and aromatic sage create a dish that's both satisfying and delicious.
  • This simple yet sophisticated recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or an easy party appetizer.
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your palate. Chili powder, cumin, and paprika are some great options for a more flavorful dish.
  • Serve the Prosciutto-Wrapped Beans as a main course with a side of roasted or sautéed seasonal greens.
