Broccoli al prosciutto

Broccoli al prosciutto is a traditional dish hailing from the Lazio area. The dish is usually made with a combination of broccoli, sliced prosciutto cotto, lard or extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper. The broccoli is cut into florets, cooked in salted boiling water until al dente, and drained. In a large skillet, the florets are cooked in lard and the prosciutto strips are then added to the mix. The dish is seasoned with salt and pepper, cooked while stirring until done, and broccoli al prosciutto is then served hot, usually as an accompaniment to other foods.
