Thanks for this delicious recipe. I omitted the prosciutto to make this vegetarian. Next time, I think I will try it your way. It's a great light dish, and quick to make. I used a mandolin to slice up some baby eggplants and zucchinis.

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
