Prosciutto Parmesan Stock Recipes

PROSCIUTTO AND PARMESAN PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with nonstick oil spray.
• Roll the thawed pastry out onto a flat surface. Spread Dijon mustard to taste on the pastry sheets. Cover pastry with a layer of prosciutto, then cheese. Roll the sheets, beginning at the long side. Cut into 1 inch thick sections. Arrange the sections on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes.

PROSCIUTTO-PARMESAN STOCK

Steps:

• Combine some prosciutto rinds or ends (or 4 ounces sliced prosciutto), a few pieces of Parmesan rind, 2 crushed garlic cloves, a rosemary sprig and 6 cups water.
• Bring to a boil, simmer, then strain.

PROSCIUTTO BROTH WITH FARRO AND SPINACH

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, combine the prosciutto, Parmesan rind, thyme, carrots, celery, garlic, shallots and 7 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer for 45 minutes, skimming any foam comes to the surface. Strain the broth and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, add the farro and water to cover by 1 inch. Add the salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and simmer until the farro is tender and most of the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Drain off any excess water and set aside.
• In a separate Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until deep golden brown, 10 minutes. Deglaze with the Marsala. Add the cooked farro and the prosciutto broth, and bring to a simmer. Add the spinach and stir until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve the soup in bowls. Top with Parmesan crisps if using.

PROSCIUTTO PARMESAN BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat over to 450 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine baking mix, prosciutto, cream and black pepper; stir until just combined.
• Knead dough 10 times on lightly floured surface and form into ball. Roll dough out into 1/2-inch thick. Cut with a 2 1/4-inch round cutter, pressing straight down; do not twist cutter.
• Place biscuits on ungreased baking sheet. Lightly brush tops with oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

PROSCIUTTO PARMESAN PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
• Lightly grease a skillet with cooking spray. Cook the prosciutto in the skillet over medium heat until just brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, drain excess fat and set prosciutto aside on paper towels.
• Meanwhile, heat the cream in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Slowly stir in 1 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese in small amounts. When all the cheese has been melted, stir in the peas and prosciutto. Allow to heat for 2 minutes more. Pour over drained pasta and toss lightly. Season with salt to taste and sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

FISH STOCK

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a large pot over high heat and bring to a boil. (If you are making one of the recipes that calls for shrimp, reserve the shells and add them to the stock for extra flavor.) Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Strain the stock and set aside until ready to use.
