Prosciutto Cotto Pinwheels
- 2/3 cup fresh ricotta cheese, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto cotto
- 1 cup giardiniera, drained and chopped
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, oil and rosemary with a rubber spatula.
- Set aside.
- Lay two pieces of the prosciutto cotto on the board in front of you lengthwise, overlapping by half and patching holes where needed.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture evenly over the ham.
- Sprinkle the side closest to you with 2 tablespoons chopped giardiniera and press gently into the cheese.
- Roll the ham into a pinwheel starting with the edge closest to you and rolling away from you.
- Repeat for the remaining prosciutto cotto and filling.
- Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to firm up.
- To serve, unwrap the rolls and, using a sharp knife, slice into 3/4-inch pieces.
