Prosciutto And Sun Dried Tomato Pinwheels Recipes

PUFF PASTRY PINWHEELS FILLED WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND PESTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drain the sun-dried tomatoes in a sieve over a small skillet, letting the oil collect in the skillet. Roughly chop the tomatoes and reserve them in a small bowl. Heat the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden brown, about 30 seconds, stirring occasionally. Add the thyme and let it crackle in the oil for about 10 seconds. Add the balsamic vinegar and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Pour the warm oil over the reserved tomatoes. Stir to combine the ingredients well.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place 1 sheet of puff pasty on each baking sheet. Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 9 individual squares, each about 3 by 3 inches. For each square, use a paring knife to cut from each corner toward the center, stopping 1-inch from the center. You will have a 1-inch circle in the center of each square, and all of the corners will be cut in half. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of pesto in the center of each square and spread it into a 1-inch circle. For each square, lift one half of a corner and fold it toward the center of the square, gently pushing the point into the pesto. Continuing around the square, fold 3 more corner halves toward the center of the square, and gently press all 4 tips together to form a pinwheel shape. Draining away most of the oil, place about 1 teaspoon of the tomatoes where the tips meet. Brush the dough with the beaten egg. Bake at 350 degrees F until the dough is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

PROSCIUTTO PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Unfold puff pastry. Spread mustard over pastry to within 1/2 in. of edges. Sprinkle with prosciutto and cheese. Roll up one side to the middle of the dough; roll up the other side so the two rolls meet in the center. Using a serrated knife, cut into 1/2-in. slices., Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° until puffed and golden brown, 11-13 minutes. Serve warm.Freeze option: Freeze cooled appetizers in freezer containers, separating layers with waxed paper. To use, reheat appetizers on a greased baking sheet in a preheated 400° oven until crisp and heated through.

APRICOT-PROSCIUTTO PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over low heat. Add brown sugar, butter, garlic, pepper flakes, and salt; stir to combine and cook until bubbling and sugar has dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in apricots and cook until soft and plumped, about 5 minutes. Add rum; continue to cook and stir until liquid has reduced and a thick syrup has formed, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set compote aside to cool, about 15 minutes.
• Roll pastry on a floured surface into 2 equal rectangles. Transfer each rectangle onto a sheet of parchment paper. Spread cooled compote onto each rectangle and sprinkle with walnuts. Arrange prosciutto over top, covering compote completely. Roll up each rectangle like a jelly roll, sealing the edge with a dab of water, if needed. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove pastry rolls from the refrigerator and slice each into 18 slices. Place slices, cut-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is puffed and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
• While pastries are cooling slightly, cut mozzarella into 18 slices. Top each pastry with a mozzarella round.
• Broil until cheese bubbles, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar over top.

PORK ROLLS WITH SUN- DRIED TOMATOES AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Cut each pork tenderloin crosswise, on the bias, into six equal slices-twelve slices in all. Pound each piece of pork to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch, using a meat mallet. Season the pork on both sides with the salt.
• Lay the pork slices flat on your work surface, and evenly place the sliced sun-dried tomatoes on top. Layer on the sliced prosciutto, cutting or tearing it to fit on the pork slices without draping over the sides. Roll up the pork lengthwise, enclosing the filling, and secure with toothpicks.
• Melt the butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour the flour onto a plate. Dredge the pork rolls lightly in the flour, tapping off the excess. Sear the pork in the skillet on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes in all, then push the pork to one side of the pan and toss in the sage leaves. Once the sage is sizzling, add the mushrooms, and cook until they are starting to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Redistribute the pork rolls evenly in the pan with the mushrooms, then cover the skillet and lower the heat. Simmer until the mushrooms have given off their juices and the pork is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
