Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Trim the ends of the broccolini and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the broccolini and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still bright green.
- Immediately transfer the broccolini to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
- Peel and finely chop the shallot.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, olive oil, mustard, and chopped shallot until well combined.
- Lay the prosciutto slices on a flat surface. You'll likely need to cut each slice in half lengthwise.
- Take a small bundle of broccolini (about 2-3 stalks) and wrap a piece of prosciutto around the bundle, securing it by overlapping the prosciutto slightly.
- Repeat until all the broccolini is wrapped.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add a small amount of olive oil to the skillet.
- Place the prosciutto-wrapped broccolini bundles in the skillet, seam side down.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the broccolini is heated through.
- Transfer the cooked broccolini bundles to a serving plate.
- Drizzle the orange juice dressing over the top.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the bundles.
- Enjoy your prosciutto-wrapped broccolini warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
Tips:
- To ensure the prosciutto gets crispy, make sure to wrap it tightly around the broccolini and place it seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- If you can't find broccolini, you can substitute with regular broccoli, just make sure to cut it into thin, long pieces.
- Be sure to use fresh orange juice for a more vibrant and zesty flavor.
- For a spicier kick, try adding a dash of red pepper flakes to the olive oil and mustard mixture.
- Use parchment paper on your baking sheet to prevent sticking and make for easier cleanup.
