Ingredients

  • 20 - fresh brussel sprouts (approximate amount), stems cut, ugly leaves removed and cut in half
  • 1 package sliced mushrooms (baby portabellas are great)
  • 4-5 slices proscuitto
  • 1/4 cup finely diced sweet onion
  • 2-3 cloves fresh minced garlic
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil (even margarine is ok)
  • - salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

How To Make brussel sprouts with proscuitto

  • Step 1
    Rough chop your Prosciutto and put it with the onion, galic and the butter or oil in a frying pan or saute pan over medium heat.
  • Step 2
    Add the Brussel Sprouts and lightly saute till a little bit browned on the edges.
  • Step 3
    Add mushrooms and lightly saute them, sprinkle the salt and pepper over lightly. (I generally add a pinch of sea salt and a generous pinch of fresh cracked pepper)
  • Step 4
    Add the chicken stock and put a lid on, lower the heat and simmer for a few more minutes till the Brussel Sprouts are cooked thru but still firm. Drain and remove to serving dish. This can be served with a sprinkling of fresh grated parmesan cheese or it stands alone just fine.
