🍑 Peach, prosciutto and basil skewers with honey

8 skewers · prep 15 min · cook 0 min

Ingredients

• 2 yellow peaches, ripe but firm
• 8 thin slices of cured ham (prosciutto or coppa)
• 8 mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
• 16 fresh basil leaves
• 2 tbsp runny honey
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 8 small wooden skewers

Method

1. Wash the peaches but do not peel them: the skin holds the wedge on the skewer and adds colour. Cut each into quarters.
2. Choose them ripe but FIRM. Overripe, they tear as the skewer goes through and weep juice onto the plate.
3. Cut each ham slice in half lengthways, then fold it back on itself like a ribbon to form a small rosette.
4. Thread onto each skewer: a peach wedge, a ham rosette, a basil leaf, a mozzarella ball, then a second basil leaf.
5. Lay the skewers flat on a serving plate.
6. Drizzle with olive oil, then with honey in a thin stream — that contrast between sweet honey and salty ham is the whole point of the dish.
7. Add a turn of black pepper and serve at once, at room temperature: straight from the fridge, peach and mozzarella taste of nothing.
