Prosciutto & Rocket Forks

Forks are great for serving nibbles and canapés on. Spear things that go well together on the prongs of a fork and serve with a dip – it's easy to make and looks fantastic. Don't worry if you haven't got enough forks, borrow some from your neighbours or a friend – it doesn't matter if they don't look the same, your guests will be looking at the food not the cutlery. This combination is nice enough on its own, but amazing with a bit of good balsamic. You'll need 12 forks for this recipe.
