Crispy Prosciutto Recipes

CRISPY PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide prosciutto between baking sheets, laying them flat. Bake until fat turns golden and meat is darker, about 15 minutes (rotating baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through baking time). Using tongs, carefully transfer prosciutto to paper towels to drain (it will crisp as it cools). Crispy prosciutto can be used like bacon, in whole pieces or crumbled.

• Heat a large frying pan and cook the prosciutto in batches, laying the slices flat in the pan until brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.

PEA SOUP WITH CRISP PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place prosciutto slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake until crisp, about 18 to 20 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, and blot to remove excess oil. Cool.
• In a stockpot, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil and saute onions with a pinch of salt over medium heat until soft but not browned, about 10 minutes. Add potatoes, another pinch of salt and just enough water to cover; cook until soft, about 15 minutes. Add shelled peas and sugar snaps with enough hot water just to cover them. Cover pot, and simmer until peas are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and puree soup in a food processor or blender in small batches. Add salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into soup bowls, and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with crisped prosciutto on top.
