Best Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Peppers Recipes

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS STUFFED WITH GORGONZOLA DOLCE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high.
• Drizzle each fig half with vinegar and fill each fig center with 1 tablespoon of the cheese. Sprinkle a couple flakes of crushed red pepper on top of the cheese and wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto. Paint the outside of each fig very lightly with olive oil.
• Put the figs on the grill. The idea here is that we want to grill the figs gently to cook the fig all the way through but to still get the char on the outside. Grill the figs on all sides so the prosciutto is starting to become crispy and the fig feels soft when squeezed, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Drizzle a couple of drops of balsamic on each and serve. It's figgy delicious!

CHERRY PEPPER POPPERS

Steps:

• Slice the tops off of the cherry peppers and carefully remove the seeds, keeping peppers whole. Wrap a cube of cheese with prosciutto, and stuff into a pepper. If there is still room inside the pepper, stuff in more prosciutto. Repeat with remaining peppers.
• Place all of the stuffed peppers into a 1 quart jar - or one that your peppers will all fit into, and sprinkle salt over them. Pour in enough olive oil to cover the peppers. Cover, and let stand for 1 hour before eating. Refrigerate leftovers.

MARINATED STUFFED CHERRY PEPPERS

Steps:

• Core out peppers by cutting a circle, at an inward angle, around the stem. Remove tops and scoop seeds and membranes out, like a tiny pumpkin.
• Cut thumbnail-size cubes of mozzarella, varying size a little bit to fit each pepper. Cut prosciutto slices in half. Wrap each half around mozzarella cubes and stuff into the open peppers.
• Pour olive oil into a jar or lidded container. Stir in Parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Whisk together well.
• Add peppers to the oil mixture and seal the lid. Let marinate for 5 to 6 hours. Serve straight out of the jar.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Trim the ends off of the asparagus spears and place in a large bowl or pan and cover with cold water and let stand for 1 hour. This will allow the asparagus to absorb a little moisture and stay crisp & moist when grilling. Drain asparagus. Drizzle asparagus with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Not too much just a little, add minced garlic and season to taste with freshly ground black pepper. Gently mix to evenly coat the asparagus. Lay a slice of prosciutto vertically (short end at the bottom) on a flat work surface. Place one seasoned asparagus spear across the middle of the prosciutto at the bottom end and roll up the asparagus tightly in the prosciutto. Repeat with remaining asparagus. Line up 4 prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears.
• Skewer the 4 spears together, 2 skewers per group of 4 wrapped asparagus.
• This will make it easier to grill the asparagus. Repeat until you have 6 skewers of 4. They end up looking like little rafts of prosciutto wrapped asparagus.
• Preheat grill to medium high 450-550° F. Cook asparagus until tender and prosciutto crisps, about 3-4 minutes per side.
• Remove from grill, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and balsamic vinegar and serve immediately with grilled Tony Roma's BBQ Baby Back Ribs.

GRILLED CAPRESE WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wrap each mozzarella slice with prosciutto until mostly covered. Put on the prepared baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Grill the prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella until the prosciutto is crisp and the cheese just starts to melt, about 1 minute per side.
• Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella and sliced tomatoes on a platter, overlapping slightly. Top with the cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with the olive oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Top with the basil.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cut peppers, lengthwise, and remove seeds.(Wear gloves).
• Cook and drain the sausage, til there is no longer any pink.
• Combine the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese, real good.
• Fold in the sausage.
• Place mixture of the sausage into each halve of the peppers. (about a teaspoon full-use your own judgement).
• Wrap the Prosciutto around each pepper, and secure with a tooth pick.
• Prepare your grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan.
• Place jalepnos over pan, and grill covered over indirect heat for about 10 minutes.
• (If you like the Prosciutto more crunchier cook longer.)
• Serve with spicy ranch dressing if you would like.
