- Total time
- Easy
- makes 12
Ingredients
- oil
- 2 small pears, cored and each cut into six wedges
- butter
- sherry vinegar
- brandy
- 2 tsp Dijon or wholegrain mustard
- 6 large slices pata negra or Parma ham, cut in half lengthways
- 150g dolcelatte
- 24 rocket leaves
Method
- STEP 1
Heat a little oil in a frying pan and add the pear wedges. Cook gently for a minute then add a knob of butter, a splash of sherry vinegar and a splash of brandy. Bubble until you have a syrupy liquid around the pears and then stir in the mustard. Turn the pears over once or twice to coat them all over.
- STEP 2
Lay out the pata negra slices and put a piece of pear, a piece of dolcelatte and 2 rocket leaves on each. Roll up tightly so they don’t shed their filling when picked up. Cover with clingfilm until ready to serve.
