Roast peach and Parma ham salad

Serving: 6
Ingredients:
  • 6 peaches
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 x 125g balls of buffalo mozzarella
  • 12 slices of Parma ham
  • 1 lemon
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 100g rocket
  • A few sprigs of fresh mint, leaves picked
Method:

Halve and destone the peaches, then lie them, cut-side up, in a snug-fitting roasting tray. Drizzle with oil, slide into the hot oven and roast for 20 minutes, or until charred and sticky. Keep and eye on them and rotate the tray for even cooking.

Place two peach halves on each serving plate. Pop a small chunk of mozzarella and slice of Parma ham over each one. Squeeze the lemon juice into a jam jar and top with three times as much oil, then season well with salt and pepper. Place the rocket and mint leaves in a bowl, drizzle with the dressing, then scatter the leaves over the peaches. Serve straight away.
