Afternoon tea

Home-baked scones

10 to 15 minutes

Elegant Parma ham and pistachio salad topped with white chocolate curls

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

100 g white chocolate
1 x 100 g pack baby butter
lettuce with rocket and basil
1 x 70 g pack Parma or good quality ham
½ cup shelled pistachios
vino cotta, for drizzling
olive oil, for drizzling

Method

Melt the chocolate then spread on a flat surface.
Chill until set.
Scatter the fresh salad leaves on a large platter.
Drape sheets of Parma ham over the leaves. Dot around the pistachios.
Curl the set chocolate by carefully drawing the blade of a sharp knife across it.
Top the salad with the delicate chocolate curls.
Drizzle generously with vino cotta and olive oil.
Cook’s note: If you’re too short on time to make the chocolate curls, create a similar effect by running a vegetable peeler down a slab of hard chocolate.
