Green Beans with Prosciutto 

Total time: 30 minutes
    Rather than sauté the Prosciutto, removing it and serving it crisp, we are cooking it with the beans.  It may not look as pretty but the ham flavor slowly cooks into the beans for a more traditional, southern taste.

 Ingredients:

• 6oz (180gr) green beans
• 1/4 cup chicken stock
• 2 slices Prosciutto, 1.5 - 2oz, (50gr)

 Instructions:

• Top and tail beans... cut off the ends.  Cut into 1 1/2 inch lengths (4cm). 
• Roughly chop Prosciutto. 
• Put beans into small skillet, add stock and Prosciutto, cover and simmer over medium heat until done, about 15 minutes. 
• Uncover during last 5 minutes to cook off some of the cooking liquid. 
• Serve.
