Italian Charcuterie Sushi Rolls are a flavorful no-cook appetizer combining thinly sliced prosciutto and salami with fresh basil pesto, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, creamy burrata, and peppery arugula.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Meats

  • 6 pieces prosciutto
  • 6 slices salami

Spread and Fillings

  • 2 tbsp basil pesto
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 4 ounces burrata cheese
  • 2 handfuls fresh arugula

Finishing

  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rolling surface: Lay some plastic wrap on a cutting board to create a clean and stable surface for assembling the rolls.
  2. Layer the meats: Arrange the prosciutto pieces on the plastic wrap, slightly overlapping each other to form a rectangular base. On one edge of this prosciutto layer, place the salami slices so they slightly overlap as well.
  3. Add the pesto and vegetables: Spread the basil pesto evenly over the salami layer, then layer on the roasted red peppers and sun-dried tomatoes to distribute the flavors evenly.
  4. Incorporate the cheese and greens: Split the burrata and spread it evenly along the same side as the other ingredients. Place fresh arugula on top of the burrata for a peppery crunch.
  5. Roll and slice: Using the plastic wrap to help, carefully roll everything up tightly with the prosciutto on the outside, forming a log shape. Use the plastic wrap to hold the roll firmly and maintain its shape.
  6. Slice and serve: Cut the roll into 8 sushi-like pieces. Arrange on a serving platter and drizzle balsamic glaze over the top just before serving for a sweet and tangy finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh burrata for optimal creaminess; sub with fresh mozzarella if unavailable.
  • For easier rolling, chill the assembled roll briefly in the refrigerator before slicing.
  • Customize by adding other Italian antipasti ingredients like marinated artichokes or olives.
  • Serve immediately after slicing to maintain freshness and prevent the prosciutto from drying out.
