Ingredients
  

  • Green Beans Cut into about 1“ - 1 1/2” pieces and Parboiled for 4 minutes
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
  • 1 Pieces if Prosciutto Finely chopped
  • 1 Shallot Finely Chopped
  • 2 Green Onions, (White & Green parts separated) White parts Finely Chopped - Green Parts sliced on a bias for garnish
  • 1 Celery Stalk Finely Chopped
  • 1 Garlic Clove Finely Chopped
  • 1/3 Cup Chopped Peppers, Finely Chopped Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, or Combo
  • 1 Cup Yellow Squash Cut into approximately 1” cubed pieces
  • 1 1/2 Cups Okra Cut into 1/2” slices
  • 1 Cup Corn Fresh, Canned, or Frozen - if Canned drain & rinse, if Frozen Thaw before adding
  • 1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes Sliced in half
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Basil, Chopped or Chiffonade Other fresh herbs may also be used, such as: Thyme, Parsley, Tarragon, Dill, or a combo.

Cooking Liquid

  • 1 Cup White Wine, or any of the following: Vermouth, Vegetable Stock, Chicken Stock, or Water. This will be used throughout the cooking process to add liquid when needed. You may use less than 1 Cup, but that amount is good to have ready when needed.

Instructions
 

  • Cut Green Beans and place into boiling water, and cook for 4 minutes. Strain and quickly rinse with cold water to stop further cooking. Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in Olive Oil.
    Add Prosciutto, Shallot, “Whites” of Green Onion, and Celery. Allow to cook until vegetables are softened, about 2-3 minutes. (If it cooks too fast & starts to burn, reduce the heat and give it a “splash” of the Cooking Liquid.
    Add in the Garlic and chopped Peppers. Continue to cook for another minute.
    **If at anytime the mixture seems too dry or is cooking too quickly, add a dash of the Cooking Liquid.
  • Add in the Yellow Squash, Okra and 1/2 Cup of the Cooking Liquid. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes.
    Add in the Corn and Green Beans. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the Okra and Squash have no “resistance” when a pairing knife is inserted. (Or you can taste to see if they are done.)
  • Turn off the heat and gently stir in the sliced Cherry Tomatoes.
    Taste for seasoning, and add your preference of Salt and Pepper.
    Garnish with the remaining sliced Green Onion before serving.
