Raw ham, pesto and burrata rolls

Author: Guido Boschetti

Difficulty:

Beginner

Total time:

15 min

Servings:

1 Portions

Ingredients:

12 Slices of raw ham
4 Burrate
Chives leaves
Icing
Salt
Basil
20 g Pine nuts
20 g Parmesan cheese
Extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

1

First of all, we have to prepare the pesto. In order to do that, place the basil leaves, pine nuts and parmesan in the mixer. Add the extra virgin olive oil and start blending until you get a soft cream.

2

Separately, cut the burrata into small pieces, obtaining more slices to be placed inside the rolls. Place all the slices of raw ham on the cutting board overlapping them slightly and place a piece of burrata in the middle. Roll up the ham into a roll and close it with kitchen string

3

Bake in a hot oven at 200°C for about 8-10 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on the type of oven and the size of the rolls. Remove from the oven and leave to cool before tasting. Then, make other rolls using the same procedure. Grill the rolls on the hot grill for 5 minutes on each side. Once ready, cut and remove the kitchen string.

4

Then, place arugula on a serving plate and place the rolls on it, covering them with some leftover burrata. To make it more delicious, pour a teaspoon of icing on top and decorate the plate with arugula. You can also accompany it with toasted or heated-in-the-oven bruschetta

Aubergine parmigiana

Aubergine parmigiana

Author: Guido Boschetti

Difficulty:

Intermediate

Total time:

100 min

Servings:

1 Portions

Ingredients:

3 Aubergines
500 g of Smoked provola
1 Golden onion
Extra virgin olive oil
Fine salt
1 kg of Tomato puree
150 g of Tipico IT's Granetta di Capra
Basil
Black pepper
Peanut oil

PREPARATION

1

To prepare the aubergine parmigiana, start with the sauce. Clean and chop the onion, pour it into a pan where you have heated the olive oil. Let it brown, stirring often to avoid burning. Then add the tomato puree.

2

Adjust the salt and add the basil leaves. Leave to cook over a gentle heat for 40-45 minutes.

3

In the meantime, cut the smoked provola into cubes, keeping a piece aside for the end.

4

Now move on to the aubergines, clean and trim them. Slice lengthways into 4-5 mm thick slices.

5

Then fry the aubergines in hot oil, dipping a few pieces at a time. As soon as they are lightly browned, drain them on a tray with paper towels.

6

Finally move on to the composition: start by pouring a little sauce into a 20-30 cm baking dish. Form the first layer by arranging the aubergine slices, pour the tomato sauce, spread it and add some cubes of smoked provola. Sprinkle with Granetta di capra and basil leaves. Start again adding the tomato sauce and the aubergines, which should be placed in the opposite direction.

7

And then the cheeses and the basil leaves. Continue in this way until you reach the last layer of aubergines, which you will season, once again, with the sauce and the smoked provola cheese that you have set aside.

8

Finish with the Granetta di capra and bake in a preheated static oven at 200° for about 30 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, let it rest for about 15-20 minutes before serving your aubergine parmigiana.
