Cooking Essentials

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    Fry the Prosciutto

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the prosciutto slices and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let it drain on a paper towel.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Fry Brussels Sprouts

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the halved Brussels sprouts cut-side down. Fry until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking.

  2. 4

    Season the Brussels Sprouts

    Once the Brussels sprouts are crispy, season with salt and black pepper. Add the gremolata and lemon zest, stirring to coat evenly.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Remove the Brussels sprouts from the heat and crumble the crispy prosciutto on top. Serve immediately while hot.
