Time 4h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2/3 cup fresh ricotta cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto cotto
1 cup giardiniera, drained and chopped

Steps:

In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, oil and rosemary with a rubber spatula. Set aside.
Lay two pieces of the prosciutto cotto on the board in front of you lengthwise, overlapping by half and patching holes where needed. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture evenly over the ham. Sprinkle the side closest to you with 2 tablespoons chopped giardiniera and press gently into the cheese. Roll the ham into a pinwheel starting with the edge closest to you and rolling away from you. Repeat for the remaining prosciutto cotto and filling. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to firm up.
To serve, unwrap the rolls and, using a sharp knife, slice into 3/4-inch pieces.

Yield 40 bundles; about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

20 paper-thin slices prosciutto or speck
1 fennel bulb, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise
1/2 orange bell pepper, cut lengthwise into thin strips
1/2 red bell pepper, cut lengthwise into thin strips
1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut lengthwise into thin strips
10 stalks broccolini, blanched
1/4 head cauliflower, separated into small florets with stems intact, blanched
2 tablespoons Meyer lemon olive oil
1 (2-ounce) piece Parmesan
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt, for blanching water

Steps:

Working with 1 slice of prosciutto at a time, cut the prosciutto lengthwise in half. Wrap a small bundle of the fennel slices (about 3 slices) with prosciutto, allowing the fennel to extend over each side of the prosciutto. Bundle 1 strip each of the orange, red, and yellow bell peppers, then wrap each bundle with prosciutto, allowing the bell peppers to extend over each side of the prosciutto. Wrap the prosciutto around the stalks of broccolini. Wrap the prosciutto around the stem end of the cauliflower florets. Arrange the vegetables on a platter.
Drizzle with the oil. Using a grater or vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan over the vegetables. Sprinkle with pepper, and serve.
