Parma Rose
Ingredients
1 pork fillet (in a size suitable for a roast)
100 g prosciutto crudo di Parma
150 g Parmigiano Reggiano shavings
Garlic
Rosemary
Sage
Dry white wine
Extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
Butterfly the pork fillet by slicing through the fillet lengthwise and opening it like a book. Pound the meat with a meat mallet until it is about 1 cm thick. Cover the meat with one layer of Prosciutto Crudo di Parma and one of Parmigiano Reggiano shavings.
Roll up the meat and seal it with toothpicks. Salt it, lay sprigs of rosemary and sage on the roast and stick a few garlic cloves on the sealing toothpicks. Moisten with plenty of extra virgin olive oil and put in the oven. Cook at 180°C for 20 minutes, then baste with dry white wine and cook for a further 25 minutes.
Please note: the original recipe of Rosa di Parma is made with veal tenderloin.
