- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
Instructions
1. Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the wooden skewers by soaking them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
3. Lay each slice of lamb prosciutto flat on a clean work surface.
4. Place 2 fresh sage leaves on one end of each slice of prosciutto.
5. Carefully roll the prosciutto slice tightly, enclosing the sage leaves inside, to create a neat roll.
6. Thread each roll onto a skewer lengthwise, making sure it is secure on the skewer. Repeat for all slices.
7. Brush the skewers lightly with extra virgin olive oil on all sides.
8. Sprinkle the skewers evenly with freshly cracked black pepper and sea salt.
9. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, until the prosciutto is slightly crisp and the sage is fragrant.
10. Remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
11. Serve the skewers warm as an appetizer or part of a tapas-style meal.
