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!
