Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter divided, salted
  • 2 ounces prosciutto chopped
  • 2 shallots thinly sliced, small
  • 1 pound green beans trimmed
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 Tbsp of the butter. When the froth beings to subside, add the prosciutto and shallots. Cook until the prosciutto is crispy, about 3 minutes.  Remove the prosciutto and shallots from the pan.
  2. Add the remaining 2 Tbsp of butter and let it melt. Add the green beans and saute until tender and just a little browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add the prosciutto and shallots back to the pan and toss to combine.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Notes

  • You can easily make this recipe paleo and dairy-free by replacing the butter with coconut oil or avocado oil. Avocado oil is more neutral in flavor, which will allow the prosciutto and shallots to shine through. *
