 An easy to prepare and elegant finger food! Artichoke hearts are wrapped in


 paper thin slices of prosciutto and then marinated in an orange-thyme


 imbued olive oil. The salt-cured Italian ham complements the bland flavor


 of the artichoke hearts. 1. Wrap each artichoke heart in a slice of


 prosciutto and secure with a toothpick.


 


 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, thyme, orange peel,


 and pepper. Pour the dressing over the roll-ups and let marinate 1 to 2


 hours or as much as overnight.


 


 3. Serve at room temperature.


 


 12 to 16 roll-ups
