Of what origin is this recipe?
Hi Alyssa, It’s not from a particular country, it’s a recipe developed by a London chef, Dan Doherty, to showcase the deliciousness of Grana Padano and Prosciutto di San Daniele.
Oh, I would definitely love this! Grana padano and prosciutto are my favorites!
So good, right?
Ooh this looks so incredibly yummy, I just want to stick my fork into that picture-)
Haaaa! They’d got this dish ready (except the prosciutto on top) before it was served, and it took all my self-constraint not to dive in as I walked past it on the counter of the open kitchen!!!
This sounds and looks so good! It reminds me of scalloped potatoes with the added bonus of prosciutto. Yum!
Yes, so good!
I’m a sucker for all these ingredients! Prosciutto di San Daniele is the best Italian prosciutto in my opinion. So delicious!
It’s very delicious!
