Italian Sushi

Italian Sushi

Description

One lazy July afternoon, my kitchen was ambushed by hungry friends and a bursting antipasto platter. In a moment of wine-fueled genius, we rolled burrata, pesto, and cured meats into what we jokingly called “Italian sushi.” One bite in, we knew: this was no joke. These fresh, no-fuss rolls have wowed every guest since—no oven, no rice, just pure Mediterranean magic. Get your hands rolling and turn your next gathering into a flavor fest!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices prosciutto

  • 6 slices salami

  • 3 tbsp basil pesto

  • ½ cup roasted red peppers, julienned

  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

  • 8 oz burrata (or mozzarella/ricotta)

  • 2 handfuls arugula

  • Balsamic glaze (for drizzle)


Instructions

  1. Lay prosciutto on a board, top with salami.

  2. Spread a thin layer of pesto.

  3. Add peppers, tomatoes, arugula, and burrata near one edge.

  4. Roll tightly toward the clean edge. Chill 10 min.

  5. Slice in half, drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve chilled!

Notes

  • Use cold meats for easier rolling.

  • Don’t overfill—less is more.

  • Secure loose rolls with toothpicks before slicing.

  • For a veg twist, swap meat for grilled eggplant or zucchini!
