Fabio Vivani Tucks Leeks In Bed With Prosciutto. You Should Too!

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 F.

2. 2

   Cut the top 2 inches off the leeks (the green part), and chop each leek into 3 equal parts.

3. 3

   Blanch them for about 1012 minutes in boiling salted water, remove from water and let them cool down to room temperature.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, mustard and balsamic glaze (See: How To Make A Reduction).

5. 5

   Add the leeks and toss them to coat.

6. 6

   Arrange the leeks in a baking dish, standing up on their ends like soldiers, close together.

7. 7

   Cover the leeks with the Pecorino, then lay the prosciutto over the cheese, tucking the slices under the bottoms of the leeks so they are fully covered.

8. 8

   Bake for about 30 minutes or until the prosciutto starts to get really crispy.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and, using a sharp knife, cut off one corner for a dramatic presentation.
