Description

If you look at all the elements you can understand why it is such a brilliant combo: sweet, cold Clementines from the fridge, sliced at the last minute so they are shiny and juicy; salty, smoky speck; creamy mozzarella (at the restaurant we are lucky enough to use burrata mozzarella, which is killer stuff, the best!); salty, rich Parmesan; fragrant mint; peppery, crunchy rocket; bitter treviso (or radicchio), which also gives a bit of colour; and balsamic vinegar. As a salad goes, it really has got everything - sweetness, bitterness, crunch and softness.

Preparation

Ingredients

4 x 100 /3 1/2oz balls of bufallo mozzarella
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon
4 clementines, peeled and sliced into 0.5 cm/1/4 inch thick discs
2 handuls of rocket, washed and dried
1 treviso or radicchio, roughly torn, washed and dried
a small bunch of fresh mint, leaves picked
1 x lemon oil dressing recipe
4 slices of speck( smoked prosciutto)
a small handful of freshly shaved parmesan cheese aged balsamic vinegar

How Tos & Summary

Cooking Steps

Get four individual serving plates out and tear a ball of mozzarella into rough chunks on to each plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and grate over the lemon zest. Arrange the Clementine slices over the mozzarella - one Clementine per plate.
 
In a bowl, dress the rocket, treviso or radicchio and mint leaves in a little dressing, reserving a few small picked mint leaves for serving.
 
On a chopping board, lay out a slice of speck and use this to pick up and wrap about a quarter of the dressed leaves.
 
Place the little package on one of the plates, on top of the Clementine slices. Repeat this for the other plates. Serve with a shaving of Parmesan, a sprinkling of mint leaves and a drizzle ot aged balsamic vinegar. Lat immediately! Absolutely delicious.
