PROSCIUTTO SPIRALS WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE



Prosciutto Spirals With Balsamic Glaze image

From the Pampered Chef cookbook Easy and Impressive Appetizers. This appetizer can be made the day before and garnished with glaze when serving. Shortcuts for Canadian cooks: shop at Superstore/Loblaws for President's Choice Glaze with Balsamic Vinegar and Artichoke & Asiago Tapenade to replace the cream cheese and artichoke mixture.

Provided by Lille

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 48 spirals

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (light, spreadable works well)
1 (14 ounce) can water-packed artichoke hearts, drained & coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons red onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped
16 slices prosciutto (8 ounce package)
2 cups arugula

Steps:

  • Prepare glaze by simmering vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced by half. Set aside. According to the recipe, this should take 7-9 minutes but I found it took quite a bit longer. Now I use the balsamic glaze mentioned in the description.
  • Prepare the filling by whisking (or beating with a mixer) the cream cheese until smooth. Add artichokes, onion and basil to cream cheese and mix well.
  • To assemble rolls, lay a sheet of plastic wrap on work surface. Arrange four slices of prosciutto vertically on plastic wrap, overlapping slightly to form a 9 inch square. Spread 1/3 cup of artichoke filling over prosciutto. Top with 1/2 cup of arugula (you could substitute romaine cut in thin strips).
  • Starting at the side closest to you, tightly roll up prosciutto and fillings like a jelly-roll or a sushi roll. Wrap up in the plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to serve. Repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 rolls.
  • To serve, remove each roll from plastic wrap and slice into 12 spirals for a total of 48 rolls. Place on serving platter and drizzle with glaze.

Yield Serves 30

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 package (17.3 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed
6 tablespoons garlic & herb spreadable cheese, softened
8 slices prosciutto or thinly sliced deli ham
30 medium asparagus spears, trimmed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Spread 3 tablespoons cheese on each pastry sheet. Top each with 4 slices prosciutto. Cut each into 15 strips crosswise, making 30 in all.
  • Tightly wrap 1 pastry strip around each asparagus spear, prosciutto-side in. Place the pastries seam-side down onto 2 baking sheets.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
  • TIPS
  • • Don't try to manipulate Puff Pastry that's not completely thawed; unfolding it while it's still frozen could tear the sheet.
  • • When cutting Puff Pastry, the sharper the knife or pastry cutter, the better. A dull edge can cement layers together and prevent pastry from rising.

ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO



Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 8 servings of 2 asparagus spears each

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons butter
2 egg yolks from pasteurized eggs (these are identified in stores as "pasteurized" and although not cooked, they have been sufficiently heated for food safety)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
Dash salt
16 asparagus spears, tough ends snapped off, and boiled until just tender but still bright green
16 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Clarify butter by melting it in a very small pot or metal container over low heat and scooping out the foam that rises. Then, spoon off the clear butterfat to a clean bowl or container, being careful not to disturb the water or milk solids at the bottom. The clear portion is clarified butter. Set this aside briefly in a warm place. Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, and salt in a blender and process at high speed for about 60 seconds. Leaving the blender running, pour the clarified butter through the feed opening of the blender in a slow steady stream and mix until thickened. Pour into a shallow plate. Dip each asparagus spear into the sauce so that three-fourths of the stick is covered to hold prosciutto in place, then wrap a slice of prosciutto over the sauce on each asparagus spear, leaving a dry end for guests to serve themselves.
