Ingredients
Scale
Meats
- 7 slices prosciutto
- 5–7 slices Italian salami
Vegetables and Greens
- 3–4 fresh basil leaves
- 1–2 cups arugula (or spinach)
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
Dairy
- 1 ball of burrata cheese
Seasonings and Condiments
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Oregano, to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil, to taste
- Balsamic glaze, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Base Layers: Line a cutting board with parchment paper. Lay the prosciutto slices parallel to each other with overlapping edges, then layer the salami slices on top in the same manner.
- Add Fresh Herbs and Greens: Arrange fresh basil leaves across the center ensuring it spans all the prosciutto slices. Add arugula or spinach evenly on top.
- Layer the Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Burrata: Spread the sun-dried tomatoes over the greens, then tear open the burrata ball and evenly distribute the creamy cheese over the tomatoes. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and oregano to taste.
- Drizzle with Olive Oil and Balsamic Glaze: Lightly drizzle extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly over the entire layered mixture.
- Roll the Italian Sushi: Starting at the long edge of the prosciutto, carefully roll it tightly over the filling, keeping the slices connected to maintain the roll’s integrity, similar to sushi rolling.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the rolled log into 6 to 8 even pieces and serve immediately, optionally with additional balsamic glaze for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
- This dish is best served fresh to maintain the creamy texture of the burrata.
- You can substitute arugula with spinach or other greens if preferred.
- Use good-quality prosciutto and salami for the best flavor.
- Balsamic glaze adds a sweet acidity; adjust the amount to your taste.
