Fresh Fig Prosciutto And Arugula Salad With Parmesan Shavings Recipes

ARUGULA PARMESAN PROSCIUTTO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the slices of prosciutto into 2- to 3-inch pieces. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the prosciutto in the hot pan and cook for a few minutes on each side, until crispy (the prosciutto will crisp up even more once it cools). Transfer the prosciutto to a paper towel lined plate.
• Place the arugula in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and the lemon juice and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the arugula to coat it with the dressing and add the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
• Top with the crispy prosciutto, or plate on individual serving dishes and then top with the crispy prosciutto.

FRESH FIG AND CRISPY PROSCIUTTO SALAD

Steps:

• Heat 1 Tbsp of the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add prosciutto and fry until crisp, stirring often. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to cool and set aside. When cool, crumble or chop coarsely.
• Whisk vinegar and honey together until smooth in a large bowl. Slowly pour the remaining olive oil in, whisking constantly. Stir in sliced figs, shallot, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Add arugula and toss until arugula is evenly covered. Divide arugula evenly among 6 bowls. Top each portion with some prosciutto, walnuts and Parmesan cheese.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH FIGS, PROSCIUTTO, WALNUTS, AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Whisk jam and vinegar in medium microwave-safe bowl; stir in figs. Cover with plastic wrap, cut several steam vents in plastic, and microwave on high until figs are plump, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons oil, shallot, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; toss to combine. Let cool to room temperature.
• Toss arugula and vinaigrette in large bowl; adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Divide salad among individual plates; top each with portion of prosciutto, walnuts, and Parmesan. Serve immediately.

FRESH FIG, PROSCIUTTO, AND ARUGULA SALAD WITH PARMESAN SHAVINGS

Steps:

• Make vinaigrette
• In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, mustard, pepper, and salt to taste. In a slow stream whisk in oil until emulsified.
• Discard stems from arugula and transfer leaves to a large bowl. Trim tough stem ends from figs and cut each fig into 8 wedges. Trim some of fat from prosciutto if desired. Halve 6 prosciutto slices lengthwise. Overlap narrow ends of 2 halves by 1 to 2 inches, pressing together gently, to form 6 pieces about 13 inches long (use remaining 2 prosciutto slices if necessary). Transfer long prosciutto pieces as prepared to a tray lined with plastic wrap. With a vegetable peeler shave about 36 thin slices from Parmigiano-Reggiano.
• Toss arugula with about 3 tablespoons vinaigrette and mound in center of each of 6 plates. Arrange long prosciutto pieces in a ring around each mound of arugula, overlapping ends to secure . Arrange figs and Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings on and around salad and drizzle salads with remaining vinaigrette.
