Procedure
FOR PIADINA CREAM
Sauté shallots on low flame, add diced Parma ham and cook for 2 minutes. Add water and cook for 1 hour on low heat without adding salt, until you obtain a ham broth. Sieve through a fine-mesh strainer when lukewarm, then dip piadina cut into pieces, with 200 ml broth. Mix with an immersion mixer, while drizzling some extra virgin olive oil.
FOR SQUACQUERONE DROPS
Whisk Squacquerone, adding lemon peel and pepper. Store in a pastry bag.
FOR CRISPY HAM
Cut ham into thin strips, microwave at maximum power for 15 seconds until it becomes crisp, let cool.
FOR CRISP OLIVE WAFFLE
With all ingredients, make a runny batter and pour in a hot non-stick pan over medium heat until it becomes crisp. Cook Tortelli alla rucola in plenty of salted water, sauté in a pan with ham broth and oil, and keep warm. Lay a piadina cream bed on the plate, then place Tortelli on top, add Squacquerone drops with the help of a pastry bag, olive wafers and crispy Parma ham.
