Yield: 6
Ingredients
- 8 whole walnuts (about 45g)
- 100g mascarpone
- 100g Bresaola (12 slices)
- pinch of fine himalayan pink salt
- 1 heaped tsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese (I use Parmigiano Reggiano)
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive (EVO) Oil
- a few mint leaves
Instructions
- pre-heat oven to 200C static.
- line 6 muffin moulds (preferably silicone) with 2 bresaola slices each.
- bake for 5 minutes, then remove from oven and set aside for the cups to cool down in their moulds.
- de-shell walnuts, break them into halves and discard the hard skin.
- place 10 walnut halves in a mini food processor or coffee grinder and pulse until grainy; add EVO oil, Parmesan and salt and continue to pulse until you have a smooth(ish) paste.
- scoop walnut paste into a small glass bowl, and incorporate mascarpone.
- using two teaspoons, scoop the mixture and fill each bresaola cup equally.
- decorate with remaining walnut halves and mint leaves.
Notes
Do not bake the bresaola for longer than 5 minutes, as it will get become too salty and too crispy.
You can make this dish a few hours in advance, without final assembly. Just leave the bresaola cups at room temperature and keep the mascarpone-walnut cream covered with cling film and refrigerated.
Metric kitchen scales are an inexpensive yet invaluable gadget to enable accurate measurement of ingredients. Store them upright in a cupboard or over your worktop and they'll only take up a tiny bit of space. Click HERE for the ones I use (UK Link). For U.S. option click HERE.
