Ingredients
- Olive oil, for frying
- 100g prosciutto di Parma
- 100g French beans, sliced diagonally into thirds
- ½ red chilli, finely chopped
- 60ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 orange, juice and zest
- Pinch of sugar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- General bunch of rocket or your favourite lettuce and spinach leaves, washed and trimmed
- 2 beetroot, steamed and thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp roasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped, to garnish
FOR THE DRESSING:
Method
- 1. Heat a little oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry off the strips of prosciutto di Parma until crispy. Set aside on a clean plate.
- 2. Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and blanch the French beans for 3 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and refresh by placing in cold water.
- 3. To prepare the dressing, whisk the chilli, oil, mustard and orange juice and zest together. Add a pinch of sugar to taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- 4. To assemble the salad, place the rocket leaves or your choice of lettuce leaves on a large platter and arrange the beetroot in between. Spoon some of the dressing over and pour the rest into a small jug to serve on the side. Lightly break up the crispy prosciutto di Parma and arrange on top. Sprinkle over the toasted hazelnuts.
