Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the couscous
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the couscous and cook until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain the couscous and transfer to a large bowl. While the water is heating and the couscous is cooking, prepare the prosciutto.
2
Prep and crisp the prosciutto
- Coarsely chop the prosciutto, then separate the pieces. Set aside half for making the fritters.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add half the prosciutto and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Do not clean the pan.
3
Make the fritter patties; cook the fritters
To the bowl with the couscous, add the egg, fritter blend, and remaining uncrisped prosciutto, separating the pieces as needed; season lightly with salt and pepper and stir until well incorporated. Using wet hands and squeezing gently, form the mixture into six [twelve] 1-inch-thick patties.
In the same pan used for the prosciutto, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. While the fritters are cooking, prepare the salad.
4
Make the salad
- Trim the root end from the romaine heart; coarsely chop the leaves.
- Cut away the core from the tomato; coarsely chop the tomato.
In a large bowl, toss together the romaine, tomato, and coconut-basil dressing; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the salad to individual plates and top with the fritters. Sprinkle with the crisped prosciutto and serve.
