Ingredients

  • 120 g retired dairy cow bresaola, sliced paper-thin
  • 2 handfuls of rocket
  • 40 g Parmesan
  • 1 lemon
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Black pepper

Method

  1. Lay the bresaola over four plates so the slices just overlap.
  2. Dress the rocket with a squeeze of lemon and a little oil, and pile it in the middle.
  3. Shave over the Parmesan with a peeler, finish with oil and black pepper, and serve.

Tip

Take the bresaola out of the fridge 20 minutes before serving. Cold mutes the flavour of the cure.
