How to Make Roman Spring Vegetable Stew with Prosciutto and Herbs

1. Flavor Base

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, such as a Dutch oven, heat ¼ cup olive oil over medium heat. Add prepped garlic, onions, and prosciutto. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the onions are tender and aromatic, ensuring they do not brown.

2. Vegetable Medley

Incorporate the prepared fava beans, sugar snap peas, asparagus, and escarole into the pot. Add 1 cup water, cover, and simmer for 15 to 25 minutes. Maintain a brothy consistency by adding more water if needed.

3. Herb Infusion

Stir in mint, parsley, lemon zest, and juice. Adjust seasoning to ensure a savory richness. Drizzle with additional olive oil.
