1. Cook Prosciutto and Shallots
Start by melting 1 tablespoon of salted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and froth, then subside. This is your cue to add the chopped prosciutto and thinly sliced shallots to the skillet. Let them cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. The prosciutto should turn crispy and the shallots will caramelize, creating a wonderful aroma.
2. Sauté Green Beans
Once the prosciutto is crispy, remove both the prosciutto and shallots from the skillet and set them aside. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of salted butter. When the butter has melted completely, add the trimmed green beans. Sauté the green beans for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This quick sauté will keep the beans tender while giving them a slight browning for extra flavor.
3. Combine and Serve
After the green beans are tender and lightly browned, return the crispy prosciutto and caramelized shallots to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy prosciutto-topped green beans!
Toss the sautéed green beans with Kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, and finish with crispy prosciutto and feta cheese crumbles. Add a sprinkle of oregano and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
After blanching, stir-fry the green beans with garlic, ginger, and a mix of soy sauce and hoisin. Top with crispy prosciutto or tofu strips and sesame seeds.
Spice up your green beans with a seasoning blend of cumin, chili powder, and garlic. Finish with crispy chorizo or bacon and a squeeze of lime, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Prepare thin French green beans, sauté with shallots, and add a touch of tarragon. Top with crispy prosciutto and serve with a sprinkle of toasted almonds.
Instead of prosciutto, try crispy pancetta, bacon, or even a vegetarian alternative like smoked tempeh or coconut bacon for a different taste and texture.
