(Pinzimonio) There is no definitive recipe for this antipasto, intermezzo, side dish or after-dinner salad. Pinzimonio means combination, and the dish consists of an assortment of the freshest vegetables available and some good-quality olive oil. Pick the vegetables from your garden, or go to a farmers' market. There need not be great variety: An arrangement of crisp carrots, radishes and spring onions would be wonderful, as would tender young artichokes and fragrant bulbs of fennel. Most of the vegetables are served raw, but some things, like string beans, are better blanched, and certain root vegetables, such as beets and potatoes, should be cooked thoroughly. The prosciutto and bread in this recipe are not traditional, but they add lots of flavor and substance. Quantities are left up to you; they will depend on the number of different vegetables served and the number of guests at the table.
Ingredients:
assorted cut-up vegetables (such as carrots, cucumbers, red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, fennel bulbs, green onions and radishes)
extra-virgin olive oil
sea salt
crusty italian bread
paper-thin prosciutto slices
Directions:
1. Arrange vegetables on platter. Allow guests to drizzle oil onto their plates and season oil to taste with salt. Serve olive oil with vegetables, bread and prosciutto.
