Bangin Blue Olives With Prosciutto Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet and saute garlic until soft and light brown. Add tomatoes, prosciutto, chicken and butter; saute for about 5 to 10 minutes. Add basil, and saute for another 5 minutes. In a stockpot, bring water to boil and cook linguine until firm, al dente. Drain pasta and transfer to a bowl, add the chicken/tomato mixture, chiles, roasted peppers, and grated cheese; toss gently to combine. Sprinkle with basil and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Pound the steaks to 1/2-inch thickness over plastic wrap. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until it reaches an internal temperature of 80 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
• In 2 large saute pans over medium-high heat, divide the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the bacon fat between the pans and heat until shimmering. Add 2 steaks to each pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place the steaks onto a wire rack over a baking sheet. Top with fontina and then the prosciutto slices, evenly covering the cheese.
• Adjust the oven to low broil and place the pan in the oven. Broil until the prosciutto is crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove and allow to rest 5 minutes, lightly covered with foil.
• In each saute pan, evenly divide the shallots and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze each with half the beef stock. Evenly divide the thyme and allow to reduce, 3 to 4 minutes. Combine the liquid into 1 pan, add the butter and adjust the seasoning, if desired.
• Serve the steaks drizzled with the pan sauce and garnish with the parsley.

Steps:

• Bring the oil to medium-high heat in a medium, heavy-bottomed pot with a tightly fitting lid. Add the prosciutto and crisp until it is lightly golden and the fat renders, about 1 minute. Add the carrots, peppers and onions and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the orzo and rice. Toast until the grains are all evenly coated with oil, about 3 minutes.
• Pour the broth and lemon juice into the same pot. Bring to a boil. Add the garbanzos and bay leaf and stir to combine. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the orzo and rice are tender. Remove from the heat once the liquid is fully absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Let the pilaf stand, covered, for 5 full minutes. Fluff with two forks, remove the bay leaf and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the scallions and serve garnished with the basil and mint leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Put a pizza stone on the bottom shelf of the oven to preheat.
• Remove the dough from the packaging and let rest on a lightly floured surface.
• In a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat, add the prosciutto and cook until crisp. Remove from pan to a plate and set aside.
• Season the eggplant with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to the pan over medium heat and saute the eggplant for 5 to 6 minutes. Add in the garlic and the red pepper flakes. Saute 2 to 3 minutes more, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add in the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let sauce reduce until all the extra liquid is gone, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, 1 egg, the Parmesan, pine nuts, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper, the parsley and the basil. Gently combine the ricotta mixture with the eggplant.
• In a small bowl add the remaining egg and 1 teaspoon water and beat well.
• Knead the dough a few times on a floured surface and add in the dried oregano and rosemary. Cut the dough in half and roll 1 piece into an oval about 12 to 14 inches long and 8 inches wide. Put the dough on a peel sprinkled with cornmeal and add half of the ricotta/eggplant mixture half way down the oval, leaving 2 inches on each side. Top with 3 slices of the mozzarella and sprinkle with half of the prosciutto.
• Fold the dough over and roll the edge closed. Brush with the egg wash, sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt and slide off the peel onto the hot pizza stone.
• Repeat with the other half of the dough and ingredients. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, serve hot!

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Combine the oil, garlic, and ham in a medium to large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the garlic becomes deep golden, nearly brown, all over, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Core and chop the plum tomatoes (or crush the canned tomatoes) and add them, along with salt and pepper, to the skillet. Stir and simmer while you salt the boiling water and cook the pasta.
• Drain the pasta when it is tender but firm, reserving a little of the cooking water and adding it to the sauce if it appears dry (quite likely if you used fresh tomatoes). Toss the pasta with the sauce and most of the basil, along with the cheese. Mince the remaining basil, garnish the pasta with it, and serve.

Steps:

• In a 6 to 8-quart pan, cook pasta in 3 quarts boiling water until al dente (7 to 9 minutes or according to package directions).
• Drain.
• Place pasta in a warm bowl.
• Meanwhile, combine prosciutto and oil in a wide skillet.
• Cook, stirring, over medium-high heat, until prosciutto is lightly browned (about 3 minutes).
• Add onions and cook, stirring, until limp (about 2 minutes).
• Add olives and tomatoes and cook, shaking pan often, until olives are hot (about 2 more minutes).
• Pour prosciutto mixture over noodles and toss well.
• Transfer to a warm serving bowl.
• Offer cheese to add to taste, if desired.
