Ingredients
Scale
Meats
- 7 slices Prosciutto
- 4 slices Italian Salami
Vegetables & Herbs
- 10 leaves Fresh Basil Leaves
- 1 cup Arugula or Spinach
- 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Dairy
- 1 ball Burrata
Seasonings & Oils
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic Glaze
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Line a cutting board with parchment paper and lay seven slices of prosciutto side by side, slightly overlapping the edges to form a continuous layer.
- Add fresh ingredients: Place fresh basil leaves evenly across the center of the prosciutto, then layer the arugula or spinach on top, followed by scattering the sun-dried tomatoes.
- Spread the burrata: Tear open the burrata ball and spread it evenly over the layered ingredients, then season with kosher salt, black pepper, and oregano for balanced flavor.
- Roll the sushi: Starting from one edge, tightly wrap the prosciutto around the filling to form a long, compact log shape.
- Slice and serve: Cut the rolled Italian sushi into 6 to 8 even pieces and drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving to add a sweet and tangy finish.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality prosciutto for best flavor and texture.
- The burrata adds creaminess but can be substituted with fresh mozzarella if preferred.
- Serve immediately or chill briefly to help the roll firm up before slicing.
- Customize with additional Italian herbs like thyme or rosemary if desired.
- This recipe is best enjoyed fresh as leftovers may lose texture and freshness.
