Equipment
- Sharp Knife
- Spoon
- Plate
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and chopped
- 1 small red chili finely minced, seeds removed for less heat
- 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
- 4 slices prosciutto thinly sliced
- optional additional fillings e.g., sliced mozzarella, basil leaves
Instructions
- Start by placing your chopped strawberries in a mixing bowl. Add the finely minced chili, lime juice, and chopped cilantro, then gently stir to combine. The salsa should look vibrant and fragrant, with the berries slightly softened and coated in spice and citrus aromas.
- Lay out the prosciutto slices flat on a clean surface or plate. Depending on their size, you can cut or fold them to create manageable wraps, making sure they are slightly overlapping if needed.
- Spoon a small amount of the strawberry salsa onto one end of each prosciutto slice. Don't overload it; a little goes a long way to keep the wraps neat and easy to eat.
- Gently fold or roll the prosciutto slices around the filling, creating little bundles or wraps. Aim for a tight roll that keeps the salsa inside but reveals a hint of the colorful filling at the opening.
- Arrange the completed wraps on a serving plate. If desired, place additional fillings like basil leaves or mozzarella inside before rolling for extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Optional: drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze or decorate with extra cilantro for a finishing touch. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crisp prosciutto and fresh, spicy salsa.
Notes
For a milder flavor, reduce the chili or omit the seeds. You can prepare the salsa a few hours ahead and keep it chilled to enhance the flavors. Adjust the spice level based on your taste.
