FRUIT & PROSCIUTTO APPETIZERS



Fruit & Prosciutto Appetizers image

Very refreshing way to start a meal. I wanted to prepare these couple of hours before serving so I used Nectarines - very nice flavor combination. The lemon/lime juice adds flavor to the fruit and also prevents discoloration.

FRUIT AND PROSCIUTTO

This classic no-cook appetizer is a simple yet elegant summer offering that can be varied using whichever fruits are ripe and tempting at the market. When preparing the melon, use a wooden spoon to remove the seeds; it is much gentler on the tender flesh than metal.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cantaloupe
1 mango
2 peaches
Coarse salt, to taste
8 slices prosciutto
4 sprigs cilantro
1 lime, cut into quarters

Steps:

  • Using a large chef's knife, cut the melon in half. With a wooden spoon, remove the melon seeds from each half and discard. Cut each melon half into eight equal pieces. With a paring knife, remove the rind from each slice. Set aside.
  • Hold the mango upright on a cutting surface. Using a chef's knife, cut away the flesh on both sides of the pit. Carefully peel each mango half. Cut each half widthwise into eight equal pieces. Set aside.
  • Using a cool, damp cloth, gently wipe the fuzz away from each peach. With a paring knife, cut each peach in half lengthwise, and remove the pit. Cut each peach half into four equal slices. Set aside.
  • Divide the fruits equally among four plates. Season with salt. Top each plate with two pieces of prosciutto, covering the fruit. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro and a wedge of lime. Serve immediately.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 peaches, pitted and sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 plums, pitted and sliced 1/2-inch thick
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
8 cups torn mixed salad greens
2 to 3 ounces crumbled gorgonzola (or other blue cheese)
4 slices Italian bread, toasted or grilled

Steps:

  • Cut or tear the prosciutto into bite-size pieces. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the prosciutto in a single layer (you may need to do this in two batches); cook, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 1 minute per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk the vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste into the oil to make a smooth dressing. Add the peaches, plums and red onion to the skillet; toss to coat and wilt the onion slightly. Transfer the mixture to a large serving bowl.
  • Add the greens and half of the gorgonzola to the bowl; toss to coat with the dressing. Divide the salad among plates; top with the crisp prosciutto and the remaining gorgonzola. Serve with the bread.

Impress your guests at your next wine and cheese night with these elegant prosciutto roll-ups. The combination of creamy goat cheese, sweet fig preserves, and savory prosciutto will make these disappear quickly! You'll want to double the recipe, or you can cut the rolls in half for a smaller serving size. I like to serve these over a bed of arugula that has been lightly tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
