Drunken Peaches Wrapped In Prosciutto Food

PEACH AND PROSCIUTTO APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium high.
• PREPARE PEACHES AND PROSCIUTTO: Slice peaches into wedges about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. No need to remove skin. Slice prosciutto into strips, about 4 inches long by 1 inch wide. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around a wedge of peach then thread it onto a metal skewer. (If using wooden skewers, soak them for 10 minutes beforehand). Repeat until all peaches have been used.
• GRILL: Spray peaches on skewers lightly with oil to prevent sticking to the grill. Grill skewers for a couple of minutes on each side until char marks begin to show.
• SERVE: Remove peach prosciutto appetizers from skewers. Place on serving platter. Just before serving, drizzle balsamic reduction on appetizers and platter (get creative!). Place a toothpick in each appetizer. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED PEACHES WITH BURRATA AND BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut peaches in half and remove peach stones. Cut each half in half again.
• Wrap prosciutto around each peach section; secure with small bamboo skewers.
• Grill peaches, turning often, until prosciutto gets a little crisp around the edges and the peaches begin to caramelize, about 6 minutes.
• To serve, spoon burrata onto serving plates. Remove peaches from skewers; place several of the grilled peaches around the cheese. Drizzle with olive oil. Top with a sprinkle of sea salt and pepper; garnish with basil.

WARM PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED PEACHES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Gently toss the peaches with 1 tablespoon olive oil on the prepared baking sheet; season with salt and pepper to taste and arrange cut-side down.
• Broil until the skins are slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Turn so the skin side is down, and continue to broil until the tops of the peaches are lightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, and cool slightly.
• Sprinkle the warm peaches with the mint, and wrap a piece of prosciutto around each peach quarter. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar, and top with a few grinds of pepper.

BREADSTICKS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In the bowl of a food processor pulse flour, salt and baking powder to combine. Add the shortening and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. With machine running, gradually add between 1/2 and 3/4 cup ice water until the dough comes together, about 1 minute.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Form into a smooth rectangle, about 4 by 6 inches, with your fingers. Then roll out the dough into an 8 by 10-inch sheet, 1/4-inch thick. Cut dough lengthwise into 1/4-inchwide strips.
• Using your hands, gently roll each strip back and forth into 16-inch long sticks. For the twisted version, grab each end of the dough strip with your fingers and carefully stretch and twist the strip in opposite directions. Arrange sticks on 2 baking sheets, side by side but not touching. Lightly brush with olive oil. Press ends onto the baking sheet to keep the sticks straight while they bake.
• Bake until firm and cooked through, 14 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each breadstick. Arrange on a platter and serve.

DRUNKEN PEACHES

Steps:

• Mix the sugar, cinnamon, and Chianti Classico in a carafe.
• Add the peaches, and chill for about half hour before serving.

GRIDDLED PEACHES WITH PROSCIUTTO & BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Brush the peach quarters with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and grind a little black pepper over. Heat a griddle pan until really hot, add the peaches, cooking for 2-3 mins on each cut side until caramelised. Set aside.
• Toss the rocket in 1 tbsp of the olive oil and pile up with the cheese and prosciutto on 4 plates. Top with the peach quarters. Whisk together the remaining oil and the vinegar, spoon over the salad and serve.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED PEACHES

Steps:

• Mix the chilli with the olive oil and set aside. Take a peach wedge and a mozzarella chunk, and wrap a slice of prosciutto around the two.
• Place three peach parcels on each plate, scatter with a few rocket leaves and drizzle everything with the chilli oil just before serving.
