Bresaola with Arugula, Fennel, and Manchego Cheese Recipe

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 4-ounce package sliced bresaola
  • 54 (about) arugula leaves
  • 1 medium fennel bulb, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
  • 1 4-ounce piece Manchego or Parmesan cheese, shaved into strips
  1. Whisk olive oil and lemon juice in small bowl to blend; set dressing aside. Place 1 bresaola slice on work surface with 1 long side parallel to edge. Place 3 arugula leaves at 1 short end so that leaves extend past 1 long side. Top with layer of sliced fennel, then 2 cheese strips. Sprinkle with pepper. Drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon dressing. Starting at filled end, roll up bresaola, enclosing filling. Arrange, seam side down, on platter. Repeat with remaining ingredients to form 18 rolls total. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover with plastic wrap; chill. Before serving, let stand 30 minutes at room temperature.)
