Earthy Portobello Salad With Prosciutto Food

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Slice the portobello mushrooms. In a bowl, toss mushrooms with enough olive oil to lightly coat and sprinkle with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes until golden brown, turning once.
• Meanwhile, mince the garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, olive oil, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. (Vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; make sure to bring to room temperature and shake well before serving.)
• To serve, place the greens on a plate and top with warm mushrooms, cheese shavings, and vinaigrette.

FRUIT AND GORGONZOLA SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Cut or tear the prosciutto into bite-size pieces. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the prosciutto in a single layer (you may need to do this in two batches); cook, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 1 minute per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk the vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste into the oil to make a smooth dressing. Add the peaches, plums and red onion to the skillet; toss to coat and wilt the onion slightly. Transfer the mixture to a large serving bowl.
• Add the greens and half of the gorgonzola to the bowl; toss to coat with the dressing. Divide the salad among plates; top with the crisp prosciutto and the remaining gorgonzola. Serve with the bread.

Brush caps with oil mixture; reserve remaining mixture. Bake until tender, 8 minutes. In a skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Cook shallots until soft, 2 minutes. Add garlic and rosemary; cook, 1 minute. Stir in beans and broth; season with black pepper. Remove from heat, stir in prosciutto and parsley and transfer to a bowl. In the same skillet over medium heat, cook spinach until wilted, 1 minute. Drain juice from caps and return to baking sheet, top down; brush with remaining oil mixture.

JUMBO SHRIMP WRAPPED WITH ARUGULA AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Place shrimp in shallow dish and add lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt, pepper and extra-virgin olive oil. Toss shrimp to coat evenly with dressing. Arrange the arugula in piles of 2 or 3 leaves, working with 6 piles at a time. Pile up 3 slices of prosciutto and cut in half across.
• To assemble the shrimp, place 1 shrimp on each pile of 2 or 3 arugula leaves then wrap the leaves up with the shrimp using the prosciutto. Assemble 6 pieces at a time, like an assembly line. Nest a grape tomato into the curve of the prosciutto wrapped shrimp and secure into place with a party pick.
• Arrange the shrimp appetizers on a platter and don't forget to put out a small empty bowl near the shrimp platter to collect the tails of shrimp and party picks, once guests finish the appetizers.

Repeat for the remaining 11 portions.
• Serve standing up in a Mason jar with the prosciutto portion on top.
