Prosciutto, Pear and Arugula Rolls
2 ripe but firm pears, cored and halved, 1 tsp lemon juice, 2 large handfuls of arugula, 12 thin slices prosciutto, 1 oz Shaved Parmesan, 24 cocktail sticks (toothpicks)
Cut each pear half into 4 long pieces, to make 16. You’ll only need 12, so you can eat the rest.
Combine the pears and lemon juice and season.
Put a pear slice and a few leaves of arugual on each prosciutto slice. Add a shaving of Parmesan (I recommend just buying a block of parmesan and shaving it with a potato peeler). Roll tightly and secure with 2 toothpicks.
Roll all the others, then cut each in half in between the toothpicks.
