Prosciutto roll, dates, merguez sausages and diced tomatoes with basil

Preparation time: 45 min

• Preparation

  Clean the tomatoes.  Finely slice the basil.  Remove the pits from the dates.  Remove the meat from the sausage casing.

• Rolls

  On your work surface, place 2 slices of prosciutto slightly overlapping.  Place 3 dates on top as evenly as possible.  Next, place about a quarter of the sausage stuffing on top.  Roll it up nice and tight, using parchment or plastic wrap if necessary.  Cook for 12 minutes in the oven or on the grill for even better results.

• Tomatoes

  Slice the tomatoes into 1 cm thick slices and spread them out on a baking sheet.  Sprinkle with minced garlic, salt and pepper.  Cook in the oven for 1 hour at 350°F.  Add the basil when you remove the tomatoes from the oven and then mix well with a food processor, blender or stand mixer.

• Plating

  In a bowl, place a generous amount of the tomato sauce in the bottom.  Place a prosciutto roll on top and garnish with a few basil sprouts.
