Prosciutto Cups Recipe
Prosciutto cups with radish salad and mustard seed
The Manhattan Cocktail Classic is not just about drinking, there was cocktail appropriate food served throughout the five day fest as well. But it wasn't all mini quiches and tiny hot dogs. For a Campari event at the Lower East Side bar/performance space the Box, both bartender and chef were presented with both a challenge and a muse. The muse? Ms. Padma Lakshmi, Top Chef hostess, star of sultry tv commercials and author of the cookbook Tangy, Tart, Hot, and Sweet. The challenge? To come up with a cocktail and food pairing that was either tangy, tart, hot or sweet. Chef Sean Scotese came up with these tasty and tangy prosciutto cups to go along with mixologist Jacques Bezuidenhout's Easy Breezy Punch.
