Brussel sprouts.... believe me, if you would have said to me 4 years ago... "Angie, you are going to love brussel sprouts, I promise" I would have laughed!!
1 pound of brussel sprouts, cut in half
5 slices of prosciutto, diced
2 table spoons of olive oil
1 lemon
2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
In a medium sauce pan add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the pan , turn heat to medium high, add the prosciutto. If you bought thin cut, this will take about 5 minutes, for thicker cuts cook for a bit longer. The prosciutto needs to be crispy, regardless of the cut...take out of the pan set on a paper towel to drain... Cut the Sprouts in half while waiting for the crispy goodness to happen with the prosciutto. Take the crusty bottoms of as well. Add the other tablespoon of oil to the pan, medium high heat... add the sprout halves....turn them cut side down to get a good caramelization on them, after 8 minutes of heat stir the sprouts around a bit and hold for 2 minutes, add the balsamic vinegar and lemon and turn the cut side down on all of them, cook for 2 more minutes, pull off the heat, top the sprouts with the prosciutto and serve...Delicious!!
