ckreef Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 This adventure actually started last Christmas when I bought 2 packs of Prosciutto but only used one. Later in January I figured the unused pack was getting old and I'd have to throw it out. Then I looked at the expiration date, 7/10/20 - What? I guess unopened prosciutto in the refrigerator lasts almost forever. With that realization I figured I would save it for something special. Then came February, March, April, and now it's May. What could be more special than a COVID-19 Challenge. Enough of the background, let's get cooking. Friday night I started a small Boston Butt that finished Saturday. Made a fresh slaw and some squash strips. Added bbq sauce to some pulled pork then rolled that and a little slaw in prosciutto. Cooked the squash on my Primo Oval Jr and the prosciutto wraps on my 19" Komodo Kamado. When the wraps were almost done I drizzled a little bbq sauce on them. Dinner was served with muffin top cornbread and a salted carmel brownie. Note: what's wrong with the prosciutto manufacturers? It costs enough you would think they could make that separator paper a little wider to save their customers some aggravation when trying to separate the prosciutto. Maybe I'm buying cheap prosciutto or maybe there's a trick to separating the prosciutto I don't know about.

ckreef Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 When I was rolling them up I thought it was going to be a disaster cook. In the end the prosciutto shrunk a bit and got fairly crispy so they held together nicely. I would make these again. dh14ster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowcountrygamecock Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I agree about the divider I use that same brand and it’s a pain. ckreef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeperovdeflame Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Those do look tasty. Actually if you added some mustard and a slice of pickle, you'd have a Cuban sandwich roll up. ckreef and Ron5850 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shuley Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Those rolls look amazing. Curious what the final texture of the slaw was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KismetKamado Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Very unique! Great entry. I’m totallystealing the prosciutto wrap idea. And the squash strips, too! I love zucchini and those look really good. And those prosciutto packages drive me nuts, too. Glad to hear I’m not the only one. ckreef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In2Fish Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 great looking cook, I was thinking about using prosciutto for something...then i saw you cook, it was then on burgers, 1st a semi fail with my shrimp burgers, then moved to my stronger cook, pork burgers. Again great cook. ckreef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKOBBQ Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Definitely looks like a tasty combination that would be pleasing to the taste buds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len440 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I think the paper problem is the prosciutto is european hence metric and the paper is american hence inches. It just makes life interesting. ckreef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
