Best Earthy Portobello Salad With Prosciutto Recipes

ASPARAGUS WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• For asparagus, snap off tough ends of spears where they naturally give when bent. Place spears into 1-inch of boiling water. Cover the pan and cook asparagus for 3 or 4 minutes, until spears are just tender but remain bright green in color, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain and cold shock the spears in a colander under cool water. Return cooked asparagus to skillet and coat with lemon juice and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
• Remove bundles of several spears at a time from the pan and wrap with sliced prosciutto. Pile assembled bundles on a serving plate.

MELON AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Cut off the rind of the melon, then slice the melon into long wedges and put on a platter. Squeeze the lime juice over the melon and sprinkle with the pepper. Fold up the ham and arrange alongside the melon.

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.

CREAMY POTATO AND PROSCIUTTO SALAD

Steps:

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brush a baking sheet with olive oil and place the prosciutto in one layer on the sheet. Bake in the oven until the fat is rendered and prosciutto is crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the strips to a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, hand-crush the prosciutto and set aside in a bowl.
• Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water along with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer, cooking until the potatoes are just fork tender, about 15 minutes. Keep in mind the potatoes will continue to cook when you remove them from the water and you don't want a mushy potato salad. Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain in a colander. Place the colander over the now empty pot to allow the moisture to evaporate from the potatoes.
• To make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk the scallions, sugar, mayonnaise, sweet paprika, ground mustard, and apple cider vinegar together. Taste and then season with salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Add the potatoes and toss. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove and sprinkle the crispy prosciutto over the top.

PROSCIUTTO SALAD ON A STICK

Steps:

• Toss the arugula, extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar in a medium mixing bowl until well mixed. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss again.
• Lay 1 slice of prosciutto flat on a cutting board horizontally. Smear with about 1 teaspoon of the mustard (you can use more or less if desired). Line the prosciutto with about 1 tablespoon of the dressed arugula. Wrap the prosciutto-arugula slice around the upper portion of a grissini stick at an angle, slightly overlapping. Repeat for the remaining 11 portions.
• Serve standing up in a Mason jar with the prosciutto portion on top.

GRILLED PORTOBELLO AND FARRO SALAD

• Bring 4 cups water and farro to boil in medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Drain. Mix farro, 7 tablespoons oil, parsley, currants, onions, vinegar, shallot, and half of garlic in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Mix remaining 5 tablespoons oil and remaining garlic in small bowl. Brush garlic oil evenly over both sides of mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill mushrooms until tender, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Place mushrooms, gill side up, on platter. Mix nuts into farro; spoon atop mushrooms. Garnish with sprouts.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH WHITE BEANS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°. On a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place caps top up. In a bowl, whisk 2 teaspoons oil and vinegar and season with salt and black pepper. 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. Stuff caps with bean mixture and spinach. In a bowl, combine panko and Parmesan; divide among caps. Coat caps with cooking spray; bake until panko is golden, 10 minutes.

ROASTED PORTOBELLO AND PROSCIUTTO LASAGNA

Steps:

• For filling:
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss mushrooms with 2 tablespoons olive oil in large bowl to coat. Arrange mushrooms, gill side up, in single layer on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 45 minutes. Cool. Cut mushrooms into 1/3-inch-thick slices.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add prosciutto; sauté until browned, about 3 minutes. Add shallots, rosemary, and thyme. Cook until shallots are tender, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. (Mushrooms and prosciutto-shallot mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill).
• For sauce:
• Bring milk, broth, and bay leaf to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat. Let stand 10 minutes; discard bay leaf.
• Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour; stir 2 minutes. Whisk in hot milk mixture; bring to boil, whisking frequently. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in Gruyère, Parmesan, and nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• For lasagna:
• Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until almost tender but slightly undercooked (noodles will finish cooking in oven). Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain again; pat dry.
• Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Spread 1 cup sauce over bottom of prepared dish. Arrange 1/3 of noodles over sauce, overlapping to fit. Spread about 1 2/3 cups sauce over noodles. Arrange 1/2 of mushrooms over sauce. Scatter 1/2 of prosciutto mixture over mushrooms. Arrange 1/2 of remaining noodles over mushrooms, overlapping to fit. Spread 1 2/3 cups sauce over noodles. Arrange remaining mushrooms over sauce, sprinkle with remaining prosciutto, and top with remaining noodles. Spread remaining sauce over noodles, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over, and dot with butter. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake lasagna until top is golden brown and sauce is bubbling, about 45 minutes (about 1 hour if refrigerated). Let stand 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
