Instructions

Start off by soaking your beans overnight. (Alternative: use a quick soak method or use canned beans).
Place beans in a pot of water with at least 1 inch of water above the beans.
In a cheese cloth, make a little baggy with 2 pieces of flat parsley sprigs, bay leaf, clove, and crushed black peppercorn and place in the pot of beans to simmer.
While the beans are simmering on medium heat, slice up the peppers, onions, and garlic.
Once the beans are ready, throw out the baggy of herbs and peppercorn, drain, and let the beans cool.
While the beans are cooling, shred your cheese into the bowl containing the vegetables.
Once the beans have cooled, add the beans into the bowl, pour in a splash of olive oil.
Add some of the juice from the lemon onto the beans and season with salt and pepper.
For the prosciutto, slice it up and add it when you are ready to serve.

Notes

The prep time does not include the bean soaking. It is up to you as to what method you'd like to use.
