Method

  1. Heat a frying pan. Without adding any oil, fry the prosciutto slices until wrinkled and crisp. Place on a sheet of kitchen roll, leave to cool, break into large shards, then set aside.
  2. Boil the peas in a pan of salted water for 2 mins until just tender. Meanwhile, mix all the vinaigrette ingredients together, season, then set aside. If making ahead, do not add the chopped mint until ready to serve, as it will discolour. When the peas are cooked, drain, then run them under cold water until completely cool. Pat dry with kitchen paper.
  3. To serve, divide the mozzarella between 2 plates, scatter the peas over and sit the prosciutto shards on top. Drizzle the dressing over and around, and scatter with the mint leaves.

    i'm a veggie, so i used asparagus in this instead of prosciuttio. it's quite light though, so you might need to bulk it up a little!

    I think this needs some clarifying; in the magazine this appears as a starter, so the "serves 2" doesn't mean "serves 2 main courses"! This makes a lovely light starter with a great contrast of flavours and textures.

    The combination of flavours in the dressing make this quite special - but do make sure the prosciutto is nice and crispy.

    Really delicious. No need to cook peas - just defrost frozen ones. Used as a starter for three seperate lunch/dinner parties - loved by everyone.

    This is a lovely light and fresh starter and went down very well. I did add a very small bed of leaves.
