How to make it
- Make the Dressing:
- Mince a fresh clove of garlic and add to it a very small minced onion.
- Dress this with honey, to taste.
- Sprinkle fresh mint which you have torn on the mixture.
- Finish the dressing with red wine vinegar and twice the amount of hazelnut oil as the vinegar (for instance, if you use 1/4 cup vinegar, use 1/2 cup oil).
- Whisk this together to emuslify.
- Add chopped hazelnuts, stirring in.
- Mince the prosciutto and deep fry it crispy. Drain on paper towel and set aside a moment.
- Wedge and skin one peach per serving and set aside.
- Make the cheese balls:
- Heat the cherry jam with 2 tablespoons water until JUST warm.
- While the jam is warming, make balls of a tablespoon of cheese each. This should make about 4 cheese balls.
- Coat the cheese balls in the cherry sauce, very quickly, or the cheese will begin to melt.
- Roll the cherry-covered cheese balls in the fried prosciutto and set aside.
- Clean the spinach to your liking, toss with some of the dressing and put in salad dishes.
- Arrange the peaches (one whole peach per person) atop the spinach.
- Arrange the cheese balls on the salad.
- Dress the salad with additional dressing, if desired.
- You can also sprinkle more hazelnuts on top.
