Bresaola and Parmesan parcels, a quick and easy starter
It is hot and sunny out there and who wants to spend ages in the kitchen with weather like this??
So, here it is a quick but tasty cold meat starter or light lunch perfect for those hot summer days.
Bresaola is Italian cured beef which is lean and tender with a sweet, musty smell. It is very light so it is perfect if you are watching your figure and getting ready to wear your bikini.
A few rocket leaves, some Parmesan shavings and a drizzle of olive oil will make these parcels very tasty!

Wild arugula, air-cured beef and Parm…a fantastic combination. These starter parcels are simply delightful, Alida.
Oh they look lovely Alida! I haven’t had Bresaola in a really long time. Probably since we use to spend our weekends in Brooklyn. I’m sure I wouldn’t find it here in PA. We do have Prosciutto though. In a pinch I’m sure I could make these lovely little parcels using Prosciutto:) Thank you so much for sharing, Alida…You always make me so hungry for Italian goodies, lol…
Oh yes of course! Prosciutto is a great alternative too! Love anything with prosciutto 🙂
Dear Alida,
What a beautiful dish with all the Bresaola wrapped up inbetween the lemon wedges. Wow, this one brings back memories, haven’t had this in many, many years. You are correct, this makes a yummy, way to enjoy a lunch especially in the hot weather, no one wants to spend the day in the kitchen cooking up a storm. The flavors all wrapped up must be like fireworks going off in your mouth. Also, I love how you bundled it together with a chive leaf, very creative… A great share..thanks…
Have a cool day! Dottie 🙂
I love these alida look delicious and wonderful!

That sounds and looks amazing, I will definitely be trying this one out for my family #tastytuesdays
These look delicious and easy to make – I look forward to trying it out. I love bresaola and it’s low calorie count is another bonus.
This looks great! We used to eat a lot of bresaola when we lived in southeast France as there was a massive Italian influence there. Pinning it now to try out.
