Final Up to date on July 14, 2025 by Carrie Korem, FNTP

I like discovering new methods to boost vegetable dishes like inexperienced beans with prosciutto.

With regards to greens, I prefer to maintain issues easy, but additionally use some vibrant flavors to essentially make the greens shine! This dish is a mix of inexperienced beans with salty, crispy prosciutto and lemon French dressing and is greatest served at room temp. It’s a terrific dish to convey to a potluck or summer time picnic!

One rule I prefer to abide by is to eat greens with some wholesome fat reminiscent of butter, ghee, olive oil, and so forth. Greens comprise fat-soluble nutritional vitamins which signifies that your physique wants some wholesome fats so it could possibly use the vitamins within the greens. So, at all times eat your greens with some fat!

Listed here are some examples:

Roasting: Toss the greens with ghee, duck fats, tallow or lard, (these fat are greatest for top heats) flip up the warmth to about 425ºF and roast till golden. Roasting brings out the sweetness within the vegetable. My favourite greens to roast are: carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, onions (particularly crimson onions), leeks, zucchini, squash and potatoes.

Sautéing: I prefer to sauté leafy greens and mix them with a great bacon together with onions or leeks. I normally prepare dinner some bacon within the backside of the pan together with crimson onions till crispy. I add the greens and toss till simply wilted. Gradual-Cooked Greens with Garlic is a household favourite.

Blanching is fast: The attractive beans and peas within the markets throughout spring and early summer time are simple and fast to prepare dinner utilizing the blanching methodology. Convey a pot of water to a boil, add the beans or peas and prepare dinner 1-2 minutes till vibrant inexperienced. Toss the beans in butter, season with Celtic sea salt and serve.

Right here’s extra information on the perfect wholesome fat and oils to make use of for cooking and baking. 

The intense flavors of those inexperienced beans pair nicely with grilled meats, fish or further greens. I hope you get pleasure from it!
