Prosciutto Roll Recipes

SWEET AND SAVORY PROSCIUTTO ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Lay prosciutto slices on a large cutting board.
• Place goat cheese into a small bowl and mix until creamy and spreadable. Lightly spread goat cheese on each slice of prosciutto. Top with a thin layer of fig preserves and sprinkle with crushed pine nuts.
• Starting from one end, roll each prosciutto slice up into a tube. Place on a small platter and serve.

PROSCIUTTO ROLL

Steps:

• Place prosciutto slices on a clean surface. Lay a few arugula leaves on each slice of meat.
• Using a carrot peeler, shave large pieces from a block of Parmesan cheese onto each piece of meat.
• Roll prosciutto slices from bottom to top. Place rolls seam side down in a plastic, airtight container. Sprinkle with a drizzle of olive oil.

PROSCIUTTO-AND-CHEESE-FILLED ZUCCHINI ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a standard-size rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Spray the bottom and sides lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Shred the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater, then transfer to a large bowl. Sprinkle with a good pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper and toss well. Let sit until softened and starting to release some of its natural juices, about 5 minutes. Transfer the shredded zucchini to a clean kitchen towel or damp cheesecloth, then squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. Reserving the liquid for another use (see Cook's Note), wipe out the large bowl.
• Whisk the eggs, 1/3 cup of the Parmesan, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper in the same large bowl until combined. Stir in the zucchini until evenly dispersed throughout the egg mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spreading the mixture into a thin, even layer. Bake until just set and opaque (there shouldn't be any browning), about 20 minutes.
• Let it cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then invert onto a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and carefully remove the parchment. Starting at one of the longer ends, roll up the egg-zucchini shell and the towel together into a spiral. Transfer seam-side down to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir the cream cheese, scallions, a good pinch of salt and remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan in a small bowl until smooth and combined. Set aside at room temperature until ready to assemble.
• Unroll the room temperature egg-zucchini shell, then use an offset spatula to spread on the cream cheese mixture into a thin, even layer. Next, lay the prosciutto slices down on top in an even layer (the cheese should be almost completely covered). Reroll tightly without the towel. Refrigerate until chilled through, at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, use a sharp chef's knife to slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.

PROSCIUTTO & ROCKET ROLLS

Steps:

• Mix the ricotta with the pesto and season with salt and pepper. Cut each slice of prosciutto in half widthways, then spread the ricotta mix over them.
• Lay a few rocket leaves lengthways on each slice so they poke out at each end. Roll each one up and place on a serving plate. Sprinkle with ground pepper.
• Prepare ahead; assemble the rolls on the plate, cover with cling film and keep in the fridge for up to 1-2 hours until ready to serve.

BASIL-PROSCIUTTO SANDWICH ROLLS

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese spread, basil and lemon juice until blended.
• Place bread slices in single layer on large sheet of wax paper. Use rolling pin to flatten each bread slice to 5x3-1/2-inch rectangle.
• Spread bread slices with cream cheese mixture. Top with prosciutto; roll up tightly.
• Wrap individually in plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate 1 hour. Cut each roll-up diagonally in half to serve.

PROSCIUTTO, FIG AND PARMESAN ROLLS

Steps:

• Cut each piece of prosciutto in half the long way; on each piece, put a slice of Parmesan and a strip of fig. Roll up the long way, pressing so meat sticks to itself. Cover with plastic wrap if not serving right away.
• Serve within 2 hours, drizzling truffle or olive oil on top just before serving.

MOZZARELLA AND PROSCIUTTO ROLL - PAULA DEEN

Steps:

• From the fresh mozzarella, home made or store bought, slice off a piece and using a rolling pin, roll it out into a smooth flat piece, about 1/2-inch thick. Place the prosciutto and fresh basil on the mozzarella and season with black pepper. Roll the layers up, either tie or slice before serving.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED TURKEY ROLL

Steps:

• Beat the cream cheese, mustard and lemon juice together in a bowl, then season with a little salt and pepper and set aside.
• Butterfly the turkey breast by cutting into one side of it so you can open it like a book. Cover with cling film and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently bash it out to a rectangle about 3cm thick, trimming the edges to neaten it up. You can reserve this trimmings to use in another recipe, such as a turkey curry.
• Lay a large sheet of baking parchment on your work surface. Lay the prosciutto over it, overlapping the slices to make a rectangular shape larger than the turkey, then place 8 sage leaves all the way down the centre of the prosciutto in a line, lengthways. Lay the turkey, skinned-side down, on the prosciutto and spread liberally with the cheese mixture. Use the edge of the baking parchment to lift and roll the prosciutto and turkey, tucking and rolling it as you would a roulade, to form a long log. Tie at intervals with string. If chilling, wrap well in cling film and put in the fridge. Can be prepared up to this point, then chilled for up to two days.
• To cook, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Remove the cling film and put the turkey roll seam-side down on a baking tray. Brush with a little oil and roast for 1 hr, or until the prosciutto has crisped up and the meat is cooked all the way through (a digital probe should read at least 70C). Scatter over additional sage leaves, if you like, and leave to rest for at least 15 mins before carving.

PROSCIUTTO ROLL UPS

• Mix softened cheese and nuts in a medium bowl.
• Divide and spread on the proscuitto slices evenly.
• Top each with the spinach or arugula leaves.
• Roll up the meat tucking in the leaves as you roll.
• Cut each rollup into 1/2 inch slices.
• Place on a plate and cover and chill up to 6 hours.
