Bresaola with Parmesan Cheese, Arugula & Pumpkin Seeds

Try Bresaola with Parmesan Cheese, some arugula and crunchy pumpkin seeds. A simple but delicious appetizer.

Bresaola is such a good product that there is no need to complicate things, thin slices served with fresh arugula, shaved Italian Parmigiano Reggiano, some olive oil and a few roasted pumpkin seeds for a bit of crunch and you are good to go.

Making appetizers like these with charcuterie is a quick and easy way to serve up something great. It’s also an easy way to put a twist on a recipe. You can try all sorts of toppings, I like to go with something green and something crunchy because I like that texture. So feel free to experiment with the toppings.
