italian chopped brussels sprouts
Ingredients
- Canola cooking spray
- 4 oz. prosciutto, diced (I use Krogers 'cubetti' -these are small diced cubes of meat.)
- 1 lb. brussels sprouts, cleaned, ends trimmed, and sliced thinly into rounds
- ½ tsp. coarse ground pepper
- ½ tsp. red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup dried cranberries (optional)
- ¼ cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a medium-sized cast iron skillet on medium high heat. When hot, coat with cooking spray. Add the prosciutto, reduce heat to medium, and cook the meat about 2 minutes.
- Coat the brussels sprouts (that are in a bowl) well with cooking spray. Toss and blend. Put into the skillet and using tongs mix with the prosciutto. Add the pepper and red chili flakes. Cook about 5 minutes.
- Turn off heat. Add the cranberries and toss into the mixture. Cover with a lid. Let he brussels sprouts steam about 10-15 minutes. Add the walnuts when ready to serve!
Notes
This dish can be eaten warm or room temperature.
Think about using it as a topping on a sandwich, in a pita pocket.
Put a scoop of it in a skillet and steam an egg over it for breakfast!
