Ingredients

  • 20 paper-thin slices prosciutto or speck
  • 1 fennel bulb, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1/2 orange bell pepper, cut lengthwise into thin strips
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, cut lengthwise into thin strips
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut lengthwise into thin strips
  • 10 stalks broccolini, blanched
  • 1/4 head cauliflower, separated into small florets with stems intact, blanched
  • 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon olive oil
  • 1 (2-ounce) piece Parmesan
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt, for blanching water

Directions

Working with 1 slice of prosciutto at a time, cut the prosciutto lengthwise in half. Wrap a small bundle of the fennel slices (about 3 slices) with prosciutto, allowing the fennel to extend over each side of the prosciutto. Bundle 1 strip each of the orange, red, and yellow bell peppers, then wrap each bundle with prosciutto, allowing the bell peppers to extend over each side of the prosciutto. Wrap the prosciutto around the stalks of broccolini. Wrap the prosciutto around the stem end of the cauliflower florets. Arrange the vegetables on a platter.

Drizzle with the oil. Using a grater or vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan over the vegetables. Sprinkle with pepper, and serve.

Recommended Wine: 2002 Terruzi & Puthod Terre di Tufi

Origin: San Gimignano, Tuscany

Grape: Vernaccia

Wine notes: For this dish I picked a white wine from a little town in Tuscany. This wine is made from vernaccia grapes and is very luxurious in texture. There is a wonderful perfume to this wine, similar to wild flowers and freshly cut grass. The crudite gives it an extra mineral edge which makes this wine a perfect match with my dish. I like to serve this chilled but not too cold because the colder the wine, the more difficult it is to taste it.

Wine Pouring Notes: Do not fill above the curve of the bowl, never more than 1/2 full, that way you can get a true sense of the wine's aroma and a better sense of its bouquet. To get the full experience of the wine, place your nose into the glass and take in the wine's beautiful aroma.

    This is a great, simple appetizer that I have made twice now. The second time I made this I only prepared peppers and broccolini. The multiple veggies are unnecessary for the crowds that I serve which are small. The first time I made this I did use a high quality lemon infused olive oil, but I am not really a fan, and I do not think the oil is necessary with the oily meat. The second time I just squeezed some lemon over the veggies with a heavy sprinkle of pepper and a very light sprinkling of salt. the salt was a big improvement to my original attempt as well. Just a little goes such a long way to bringing out the flavor of the veggies and meat and pulling them together. Yum!

    Easy, healthy, delicious - will make again! I would recommend buying the prosciutto the day you will serve the dish and to leave the meat out of the refrigerator for one hour before you work with it (otherwise the slices will stick together. I also trimmed the fat from around the edges of the prosciutto.

    This is a very beautiful dish. The taste is good but not great, thus 4 stars. I would make this again just because it is so pretty.
