Method

  1. To make the Bresaola Bundles with Ricotta, Arugula and Walnuts, start by working the ricotta in a bowl with a whisk: add the coarsely broken walnuts and the chopped arugula and mix with a spatula until the ingredients come together. Season with salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil to taste.
  2. Once the filling is ready, place a spoonful of it on a slice of bresaola: close the slice into a bundle with kitchen twine and lay a chive over the twine.

Tips

We recommend using pecans, because their flavor is different from the walnuts common in Italy and especially well suited to this recipe.

Storage

You can keep your Bresaola Bundles with Ricotta, Arugula and Walnuts for a couple of days at most in a tightly sealed plastic container in the fridge.
