Method

  • step 1

    Heat a frying pan. Without adding any oil, fry the prosciutto slices until wrinkled and crisp. Place on a sheet of kitchen roll, leave to cool, break into large shards, then set aside.

  • step 2

    Boil the peas in a pan of salted water for 2 mins until just tender. Meanwhile, mix all the vinaigrette ingredients together, season, then set aside. If making ahead, do not add the chopped mint until ready to serve, as it will discolour. When the peas are cooked, drain, then run them under cold water until completely cool. Pat dry with kitchen paper.

  • step 3

    To serve, divide the mozzarella between 2 plates, scatter the peas over and sit the prosciutto shards on top. Drizzle the dressing over and around, and scatter with the mint leaves.

Surprisingly very very nice! Quite a light meal but still satisfying and a good variation of texture.

So delicious! I served it on a bed of rucola as a starter. Many of the ingredients can be prepared ahead of time so all you have to do when the guests arrive is chop up some mint and plate it all. Easy pea-sy! ;)

Substituted low fat chevre as I prefer the softer texture and spunkier flavour. Was a hit with everyone.

And am making it again, this time using asparagus as one contributor suggested for a veggie option

A friend served this for a starter the other night: incredible flavours that compliment each other so well. Don't be timid, go heavy on the mint! I was surprised, probably ate more mint on this dish than in my entire life leading up to it, but it really was delicious.
