SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND APPLE WITH PROSCIUTTO



Sautéed Brussels Sprouts and Apple With Prosciutto image

At the elegant restaurant Piora in the West Village, the chef Chris Cipollone separates each brussels sprout into individual leaves to make this autumnal dish. Thinly slicing the sprouts is faster, though less refined. The slivered sprouts are then sautéed with cubes of sweet apples, and garnished with an icy, porky snow made from frozen prosciutto grated on a microplane. Grated pecorino cheese can be used instead for a meatless version.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     side dish

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto (see note)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large Golden Delicious apples, cored and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and very thinly sliced
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
3/4 teaspoon black pepper, as needed

Steps:

  • Stack prosciutto slices on top of one another. Cut stack in half crosswise, then layer stacks on top of one another. Starting at the shorter end of the stack, tightly roll the prosciutto into a compact cigar shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 3 hours or up to 3 days.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until lightly smoking. Add apples and cook, barely moving, until lightly colored, about 5 minutes. Stir in brussels sprouts and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove prosciutto from the freezer and use a hand grater to finely shave ham over the brussels sprouts before serving.

SAUTéED FIGS WITH PROSCIUTTO AND PARMIGIANO



Sautéed Figs with Prosciutto and Parmigiano image

Categories     Salad     Side     Roast     Fig     Prosciutto

Yield MAKES 16 WRAPPED FIGS; SERVES 4 TO 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 small chunk Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
8 large fresh figs
8 thin slices prosciutto
Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing
1 1/2 tablespoons aged sherry or balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmigiano into shards. Set aside.
  • Cut the figs in half lengthwise, and cut the prosciutto slices in half lengthwise as well. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each fig, then brush lightly with the olive oil.
  • Heat a large skillet (ideally cast iron) or a grill pan over medium-high heat. When hot, arrange half the figs in a roomy single layer, cut side down, in the pan. Cook until the prosciutto is browned and crispy, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Then flip the figs and repeat on the other side. Transfer to a serving platter and cook the remaining figs in the same way.
  • Drizzle the vinegar over the figs and top with Parmigiano shavings. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh figs for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you can't find prosciutto, you can substitute another type of dry-cured ham, such as Serrano or Iberico.
  • Use a good quality Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the figs in a hot skillet over medium heat.
  • Serve the figs immediately after cooking, while they are still warm and juicy.

Conclusion:

Sautéed figs with prosciutto and Parmigiano-Reggiano is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. The sweet figs are perfectly complemented by the salty prosciutto and nutty Parmigiano-Reggiano. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it's also a great way to use up any leftover figs you may have.
