The duck prosciutto in this canapé is a great pairing with the blue cheese and bitter endive. But if you cannot find it anywhere, traditional prosciutto works just as well.
Recipe: Endive Spears with Blue Cheese and Duck Prosciutto
Serves 8
2 heads Belgian endive
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
4 ounces duck ham, sliced thin
1 pomegranate, cleaned and seeds separated
freshly cracked black pepper
- Trim the end of the endive and peel apart the leaves, discarding any bruised or browned leaves.
- Fill each endive spear with about ¾ tablespoon of blue cheese crumbles and top with a slice of duck prosciutto.
- Garnish with pomegranate seeds and cracked black pepper.
I did not have a chance to pick up duck prosciutto, so just used regular (although, will be making duck prosciutto next weekend myself! stay tuned!)
This was a real easy one (with the exception of seeding the pomegranate) , everything prepped the day before, and put together rather easily.
and in the fridge for the next day...
p.s. I'm showing these pictures, as I wanted to show how easy it was to do many steps way ahead of time if you are having company. It made cleanup a cinch, and you were not slaving over a hot stove and had some great food.
Mmmmm I ate quite a few the day before....
Ok fast forward to the dinner day...
an "action" shot..
They were great, and can only imagine how good they would have been with the duck. Super-easy, very tasty canape.
