Hot Prosciutto-Wrapped Taleggio on Mixed Greens with Ripe Figs
4 slices (about 3-4 ounces) prosciutto
6 ounces very ripe Taleggio, sliced about 1/4-inch thick
4 big handfuls of spring salad mix:arugula, mizuna, baby lettuces, mache
2 to 3 Tbsp chopped chives
2 to 3 Tbsp chopped chervil
balsamic vinegar to taste
juice of 1/4 to 1/2 lemon
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
salt and pepper to taste
6 ripe black figs, cut into quarters
Wrap the prosciutto around the Taleggio slices and set aside on a plate.
Mix the leaves with the chives and chervil, then toss with a few shakes of balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange on plates and garnish with fig quarters.
Using a non-stick pan, quickly saute the prosciutto-wrapped cheese until it is warmed through, then place the hot parcels on the salad.
Shake a little balsamic in the hot pan, swirl it around, then immediately pour it over the salad.
Serves 4.
