- 8-12 slices prosciutto
- olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar

- to serve salad leaves
Method
step 1
Blanch the asparagus for 2 minutes then refresh under cold water. Cut each mozzarella slice in half and sit both pieces on top of 2 spears of asparagus. Top with 2 more spears then wrap the asparagus in prosciutto so the mozzarella is enclosed (you will need 2 or 3 strips). Heat a little olive oil in a pan, then carefully fry the parcels until the prosciutto has crisped and the mozzarella oozes.
step 2
Whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil and the vinegar and add the basil. Serve each parcel with salad leaves and a little dressing drizzled over.
