Total Time:15 minutes
Yield:8 servings
Ingredients
For the Rolls
8 slices Prosciutto or substitute with Italian ham or capicola
8 slices Italian Salami or any preferred deli meats
1 cup Fresh Basil or substitute with parsley
1 cup Arugula or Spinach substitute with other leafy greens
8 ounces Burrata or substitute with goat cheese or ricotta
½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes or use roasted red peppers
For Seasoning
to taste Kosher Salt
to taste Black Pepper
to taste Oregano
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil or any light oil
2 tablespoons Balsamic Glaze or reduced balsamic or sweet vinaigrette
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients: Lay out the slices of prosciutto and salami on a clean surface. Wash and dry the fresh basil and arugula or spinach thoroughly. Slice or crumble the burrata if necessary for ease of rolling.
Assemble the rolls: On each slice of prosciutto or salami, place a few leaves of basil and arugula, then add a spoonful of burrata and a few pieces of sun-dried tomatoes. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt, black pepper, and oregano to taste.
Roll tightly: Carefully roll each slice up tightly to enclose the fillings, ensuring the ingredients stay inside and the roll holds together.
Season and drizzle: Arrange the rolls on a serving plate. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly over the rolls to add flavor and a beautiful glossy finish.
Serve immediately: These Italian sushi rolls are best served fresh as a finger food appetizer or light snack. Optionally, garnish with extra fresh herbs or a sprinkle of additional seasoning.
Notes
Substitute burrata with goat cheese or ricotta for different textures and flavors.
Use roasted red peppers instead of sun-dried tomatoes for a milder taste.
Adjust the amount of seasoning based on preference, especially salt and pepper.
Chilling the rolls briefly before serving can help them hold their shape better.
Serve with extra balsamic glaze or dipping sauces like a light vinaigrette for added taste.
