  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Roll tightly: Carefully roll each slice up tightly to enclose the fillings, ensuring the ingredients stay inside and the roll holds together.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
