Grape Leaf Packages Filled with Mozzarella Cheese and Serrano Ham (recipes)


Makes 4 servings





2 large balls of fresh mozzarella, about 1 pound

2 paper-thin slices Serrano ham or prosciutto

4 large grape leaves

olive oil for sautéing

½ cup garlic-flavored olive oil



Cut each ball of cheese into 4 think slices for a total of 8 slices. Lay a slice of ham or prosciutto on 4 of the cheese slices, and then top each with the remaining cheese slices.

Wrap each “sandwich” with a grape leaf.



Heat a sauté pan to high heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil. Sear the wrapped cheeses for about 30 seconds per side, until the grape leaf is a little crisp.



Transfer to a platter and drizzle with garlic oil.



Serve at room temperature.
