  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 17 minutes
  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 4 slices prosciutto, torn into pieces
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Sauté Brussels Sprouts (10 minutes): Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they are caramelized and tender, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
  2. Cook Onions (5 minutes): Push the Brussels sprouts to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side, and sauté the red and sweet onions until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
  3. Add Prosciutto (3 minutes): Scatter the torn prosciutto pieces over the Brussels sprouts and onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the prosciutto to warm up and slightly crisp.
  4. Assemble Salad (2 minutes): Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and pomegranate seeds over the salad.
  5. Serve (2 minutes): If desired, drizzle some balsamic glaze over the salad for an added sweet and tangy flavor. Serve the salad warm, directly from the skillet.

Notes

For the best results, ensure the Brussels sprouts are well caramelized to bring out their natural sweetness, which contrasts beautifully with the salty prosciutto and creamy feta. The addition of pomegranate seeds adds a pop of color and a burst of sweetness.

This dish is a wonderful way to enjoy Brussels sprouts in a flavorful and exciting way. Serve with your favorite sides like homemade focaccia bread or top with grilled chicken for a complete meal. Enjoy!

Pair this with...

Homemade Focaccia Bread

Grab 5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 cups warm water, a packet of active dry yeast, 2 tsp sugar, 1/4 cup olive oil, and a tablespoon of salt. Dissolve sugar in warm water, sprinkle in yeast, and wait till it's frothy (5 mins). Mix this with flour, olive oil, and salt in a bowl. Once you've got a dough, let it rest until doubled in size (about 1.5 hours). Transfer it to a baking sheet, poke some dimples in with your fingers, drizzle more olive oil, and sprinkle sea salt and herbs (rosemary's a classic!). Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes until golden.

Roasted Red and Yellow Beets

Begin by choosing fresh, firm beets, giving them a good scrub to remove any lingering dirt. Trim off the greens (save them for another dish!), and wrap each beet individually in foil. No need to peel them just yet. Place them on a baking tray and pop them into a preheated oven. As they roast, the beets transform, intensifying in flavor and becoming wonderfully tender. Once they're done, allow them to cool a bit, then use your hands or a paper towel to rub off the skin. It'll slide right off! Slice or dice, and marvel at the vibrant hue. Drizzle with a touch of olive oil, sprinkle some sea salt, and perhaps a dash of balsamic vinegar.

Very Berry Smoothie

First, grab a handful of fresh or frozen strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Toss them all into your blender. To make it creamy and dreamy, add a cup of yogurt or almond milk. Need a touch of sweetness? Drizzle in a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, adjusting to your preference. If you're aiming for an extra boost, consider adding a spoonful of chia seeds or flaxseeds for added nutrients and texture. Whizz everything together until you get a smooth, velvety blend. Pour it out into a chilled glass. Enjoy!
