Ingredients

Method

• 100 g white chocolate

• 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

Ingredients

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.
