  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 appetizers

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup julienned prosciutto, 1/8-inch-wide strips (2 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup peeled, seeded, and chopped Italian plum tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 turns freshly ground black pepper
