Italian Charcuterie Sushi Rolls

Italian Charcuterie Sushi Rolls…what the heck??!!!  These easy and delicious appetizers are the way to go when you want to change up the traditional charcuterie board.  Roll up all your typical ingredients, such as prosciutto, salami, burrata, roasted red peppers and sun-dried tomatoes along with arugula and basil pesto into a “sushi” roll, slice them into bite-size pieces and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

You’re welcome!

Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on your work surface and overlap prosciutto to form the outer surface of your roll.  Then lay the salami over one end of it.

Next comes the pesto, followed by the roasted red peppers and sun-dried tomatoes.

Spread the burrata on top of the ingredients and lay arugula over that.

Use the plastic wrap to help start the rolling.  Roll it as tight as you can and then slice it (without the plastic wrap, of course) into sushi-like pieces.

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over and serve!

This is part of the Easy Peasy category of recipes as it’s just so easy!

      I can’t get burrata cheese where I’m at, what cheese can I use instead

      • Francine

        Denise, I would suggest fresh mozzarella (the kind that comes in a water-brine) or if that’s not available, whole-milk ricotta would also be very tasty. Thanks for the question!

      • Collette

        I would use soft Mozzetta balls close to burrata They compress n a container like burrata balls .

        • Francine

          That sounds like a good option, too!

      • Cari

        You could try ricotta, or a whipped cream cheese.

        • Francine

          Whipped cream will give it a tangy flavor (not good or bad, just be aware). Ricotta would be my first choice.

    • Toni McCormick

      I tried a recipe SIMILAR (but not as good) as this one. I used Trader Joe Prosciutto and it just fell apart despite carefully removing the separating paper. I’ll use THIS recipe instead & get my ‘sciutto sliced to ORDER — a little thicker. the pre-packaged stuff can’t be guaranteed (unless you do a trial run) I’m not a fan of pesto so I used a tomato pesto & will again but eliminate the sun dried ‘maters. I also used PEARL MOZ balls and think that was a mistake too. You want a consistent layer –so either torn mozz ball or ricotta –spice it up before applying if you like–if burrata isn’t available. If you’re a COSTCO member, they might carry it at your location. I like the idea of roasted peppers but I’ll make sure I slice them very thin!

        Great suggestions, Toni!

      This looks great but I have a question. I haven’t seen Balsamic Glaze in the store. Do you make it by cooking balsamic vinegar to reduce it to a glaze?

      • Francine

        Hey John…balsamic glaze seems to be available in both regular grocery stores and specialty stores, but if you can’t find it, take a cup of balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup of brown sugar and simmer it until it reduces to about 1/2. It will thicken as it cools. If it’s too thin, simmer a little longer….if it’s too thick, and a touch of water. Hope that helps!

    • Bridget

      Can these be made a day ahead and sliced right before serving?

      • Francine

        I prefer to make them the day needed. The arugula will wilt and the burrata will run so best to serve them within a few hours of making them.

    • Jo Smith

      We made these yesterday – and they were enjoyed by all. Next time, we will use a thicker prosciutto and a drier cheese, we sliced the tomatoes and peppers very thin and that worked great. Also, draining/drying the peppers and tomatoes helped. I was looking for something fun to take to an Italian dinner party and this was it.

      • Francine

        I’m glad you enjoyed this, Jo! Thanks for the comment!
