Ingredients

Units
  • 1 pound green beans, ends trimmed
  • 4 ounces prosciutto, cut into small pieces
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion
  • 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese (omit for dairy free)
  • Celtic sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Fill a large bowl with water and ice cubes. Place green beans in boiling water and cook for 1 minute, until bright green. Drain and quickly pour beans into ice water (this will stop the cooking process). In the now empty pot, add prosciutto and cook over medium heat, until golden brown on the edges and crispy. Drain beans. Add olive oil, lemon juice, onion, cheese and prosciutto to green beans. Toss well. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper. Serve.

 

*I prefer these fats because they have a high smoking point and won’t oxidize under high heat like butter or olive oil will. This article and this article give a wealth of information about healthy fats and when to use them.
