Parma Ham and Walnut Roulade 

Wine suggestion: Douro Valley red wine

Serves 4

Ingredients:

10 slices Parma Ham
150g cream cheese or low fat soft cheese
1 small clove of garlic
50g roughly chopped walnuts
1 tsp freshly chopped chives
1 tsp fresh chopped parsley
Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

Lay out two slices of Parma Ham on a work surface, placing one directly on top of the other. Next, place two more slices on top of the first, overlapping them halfway down these slices. Continue with the remaining slices to form a square of Parma Ham.

Mix the soft cheese with the herbs, crushed garlic and roughly chopped walnuts. Season with black pepper, then spread carefully and evenly using a palette knife, over the Parma Ham.

Roll up the Parma Ham from one side, then wrap in cling-film or foil for at least 30 minutes.

To serve, use a sharp knife to slice the Parma Ham roll and serve with salad or fresh fruit - such as melon, grapes or figs.
