Green Beans With Crispy Prosciutto - olive oil

Method

• 1. Heat olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring often, until onion is brown and sweet.
• 2. Add the chopped prosciutto or bacon and cook, stirring often, until fat renders and the meat is crispy.
• 3. Place beans on top of the onion mixture and quickly pour in the water. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil, then clamp on the lid and steam until beans are tender, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• 4. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
