Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 1 pound Jerusalem artichokes (also known as sunchokes), well scrubbed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • Salt
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 large shallot, peeled and minced
  • 2 teaspoons roughly torn mint
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Method

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
  • Add the prosciutto in a single layer (you may have to do this in batches) and cook until crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the pan to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool slightly.
  • Crumble and set aside.
  • Return the pan to medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
  • When the oil shimmers, add the Jerusalem artichokes, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and almost fork tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the water, stir to release any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and cook until the water evaporates and the artichokes are fork tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the shallot and cook until golden, about 3 minutes more.
  • Stir in the crumbled prosciutto, mint, and lemon juice, adjust the seasoning as needed, and serve immediately.
