Grilled mozzarella wrapped in Black Forest ham

Not having access to Parma ham and buffalo mozzarella, I had to re-design and make this amazingly delicious dish with regular mozzarella that you can buy in any store and Black Forest ham. Ruccola and balsamic vinegar lovers will appreciate this recipe, I hope :)

 
Ingredients, serves 2: 
  • 3 mozzarella balls 
  • fresh ruccola, the amount depends on how much you like it... :)
  • 9 slices of Black Forest ham
  • dark balsamic vinegar 
Cut each mozzarella ball into three pieces and wrap each of them in one slice of ham. If it wants to fall apart,  you can stick a toothpick in each piece. Heat up a tiny bit of oil in a pan and grill both sides of the ham, and when that's done, pour in the vinegar. Let the acid boil away, so that it thickens and becomes very sticky. 



Pile the ruccole up on a plate, and place the hot pieces of wrapped mozzarella right on top of it. Pour the remaining "dressing" all over it, so it can mix with the ruccola too.
