The weather has been inclemently hot in London over the last few weeks. We shouldn't be complaining that's for sure, however, it's been SO hot that I for one haven't really wanted to eat much at all. At least, not until the sun has gone down and then sitting in the cool of the garden, I start to feel peckish. By then it's getting late and I want to eat something fast, but also delicious and cooling and so this 'recipe' if you can call it that, is perfect. Ripe pears, sweet parma ham and gusty Roquefort - all rolled up into bite size bits... seriously good with a little balsamic glaze drizzled over (and even better with some homemade sweet potato fries!).
How to:
- Cut your pear into quarters, quarter again and then peel and core .
- Cut the Roquetfort into rectangles about half a cm by 3cms.
- Lie the Parma Ham flat and tuck into the end the Pear, Roquetfort, four Rocket leaves and finish with a good seasoning of Salt and Pepper.
- Roll the bundle up and place on a serving dish on a bed of Rocket.
- When you have completed your canapes, you could drizzle with truffle honey or balsamic glaze
That's it - enjoy! You could even sneak in a very chilled glass of little Miss Sauvignon!
