GREEN BEAN BUNDLES

Steps:

• Blanch the beans- bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add green beans, and cook until crisp tender, about 4-5 minutes (this may take a 1-2 min. longer if using thicker beans vs. French Cut Green Beans)
• While beans are cooking fill a large bowl with ice water. Drain beans, and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain beans, and blot dry with paper towels. Set aside.
• Whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne powder in a large bowl. Add beans and toss to coat.
• Gather beans into 12 bundles of approx. 12-15 beans each. Lay out 1 piece of prosciutto (which has been cut in half lengthwise) on a cutting board or other flat surface. Place one bundle of beans at end of prosciutto piece and roll up lengthwise. Place bundle, seam side down, on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining prosciutto slices.
• Bake at 450F until beans are warmed and prosciutto slices begin to brown, approx. 5-7 minutes. Serve immediately. Garnish with toasted almonds, if desired.

BEANS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• One doesn't want to wade too deep into canape land, but I would feel I was doing less than my duty if I didn't faithfully report my other most-relied-upon-starter-stand-in: beans wrapped in prosciutto. I saw these little bundles of green beans tied around the middle with Parma ham in an Italian delicatessen and went straight back home and made my own.
• Top and tail some green beans and cook them in boiling salted water. Remember that the beans need decent cooking, not mere dunking in hot water. Drain them, wait for them to cool, dip them in balsamic vinegar, then cut raggedy thin slices of Parma ham in strips and tie them round the bean-bundles.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED GREENS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and mustard.
• Put the mesclun or arugula in a medium bowl and season with generous pinch of salt and pepper.
• Add the Parmigiano to the greens and gently toss with just enough of the vinaigrette to coat the greens lightly.
• Taste for salt and pepper.
• Set a slice of prosciutto on a work surface and put a small handful of greens at the narrow end of the meat.
• Squeeze the greens together and roll the prosciutto into a tight log.
• Cut the log into 2 inch pieces on the diagonal (two or three pieces depending on the width of the prosciutto).
• Repeat with the remaining prosciutto and greens and serve.
