Method

1 Blanch the beans and peppers in a large pan of boiling water for 1-2 minutes or until they're just tender. Rinse under cold running water; drain. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the cheese and season to taste. Toss well.

2 Divide the mixture into 12 portions and wrap each one in a slice of prosciutto to form a bundle, with the vegetables sticking out each end.

3 Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the olive oil and fry the bundles for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the heat and arrange on a platter.

4 Mix together the ingredients for the dressing and drizzle over the wraps. Season and garnish with basil leaves if desired.
