Ingredients
Scale
Meats
- 6 pieces prosciutto
- 6 slices salami
Vegetables & Herbs
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 handfuls fresh arugula
Dairy
- 4 ounces burrata
Condiments
- 2 tbsp basil pesto
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Arrange the prosciutto pieces on the plastic wrap, slightly overlapping each other to form a cohesive layer.
- Add the salami: Layer the salami slices on one side of the prosciutto, creating a base for the fillings.
- Spread pesto and add toppings: Slather the basil pesto evenly over the salami. Then layer the roasted red peppers and sun-dried tomatoes on top of the pesto.
- Add burrata and arugula: Split the burrata and spread it along the topping side to add creamy richness. Place the fresh arugula on top of the burrata.
- Roll tightly: Using the plastic wrap, carefully roll everything up tightly with the prosciutto on the outside, forming a log.
- Slice and serve: Slice the roll crosswise into bite-sized, “sushi-like” pieces. Arrange on a platter and drizzle balsamic glaze over the top before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh burrata for best creaminess; fresh mozzarella can be a substitute.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure the balsamic glaze is free from gluten additives.
- Serve immediately after slicing to keep the prosciutto from drying out.
- To make slicing easier, chill the roll in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
- Customize the roll with additional Italian ingredients like olives or artichoke hearts if desired.
