From the demo: The Strawberry Bandits
Recipe Courtesy of On The Lamb
serves 4
4-6 handfuls of clean arugula
Half pint of strawberries, hulled and sliced in bite sized pieces
4 oz Pecorino or good aged sheeps milk cheese, cut into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
Balsamic Vinegar (Fattoria Estense is great)
Olive oil
Sea salt
Fresh cracked pepper
how to make it
- In a large bowl with plenty of room to toss the leaves, season the arugula with salt & pepper to taste
- Drizzle balsamic to just kiss each leaf with vinegar, do the same with the oil
- Toss in the strawberries, reserve a few for garnish, adjust seasoning
- Toss half of pecorino into salad
- Present salad with remaining cheese scattered over the top & a few pieces of strawberry to make it pretty
serving suggestions
This would be a great accompaniment to a simply grilled skirt steak or as part of a multi-course Italian meal. I also like to have it as a complete meal tossed with leftover lentils or white beans.
