Fennel and Prosciutto Bites

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 fennel bulb
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) ricotta cheese
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped black olives
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) finely chopped chives
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) finely grated orange zest
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
  • 12 slices San Daniele® Prosciutto

Directions

  • Remove fennel fronds from bulb; chop and set aside. Trim top and bottom of bulb; separate layers, discarding outer layer. Cut each layer into 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide wedges.
  • Fold together ricotta, basil, olives, chives, orange zest, salt and pepper; dollop onto each fennel wedge. Sprinkle with reserved fennel fronds.
  • Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise. Drape gently over ricotta mixture and fennel fronds. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
  • Tip: Transform these bites from a simple snack to haute hors d'oeuvres by garnishing each wedge with a small basil leaf, orange segment and toasted pine nuts.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Serves: 5 - 10

Ingredients:

1 package (200g) Bocconcini cheese (10 Bocconcini balls)
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp Calabrian chilli paste
10 slices Prosciutto, thinly sliced
5 pimento stuffed olives, cut in half widthwise or thinly sliced

Instructions:
Preparing the Bocconcini Cheese: Drain and rinse a package of Bocconcini cheese. Pat them dry with paper towel or a tea towel and set aside.

Making the Hot Honey: To a small bowl, add the honey and Calabrian chilli paste. Give it a good mix and set aside.

Creating the Halloween Eyeballs: Grab a slice of Prosciutto and wrap it around the sides and bottom of a Bocconcini ball, leaving the topside of the cheese exposed. Repeat the process with the remaining Bocconcini balls and Prosciutto slices. 

Transfer the Eyeballs to a serving platter or plate, leaving a little space between them. 

Using a small spoon, spoon Hot Honey over the Bocconcini and Prosciutto.

Drizzle the excess Hot Honey over the plate or platter and top each Halloween Eyeball with a sliced olive. Serve and enjoy!
