Step	Description
1	Saute the prosciutto in a wok or frying pan over medium heat until it just begins to get crisp. Once done, remove the prosciutto from the pan and set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
2	In the same pan, add the minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir-fry the mixture for about 30 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant and slightly golden.
3	Add the fresh green beans to the pan, along with 1/3 cup of water. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the pan and cook the beans for approximately 4 minutes, or until they are heated through but still retain a crisp texture. If you prefer softer vegetables, you can cook them for a bit longer according to your preference.
4	Once the green beans are cooked to your liking, arrange them on a heated serving platter. Sprinkle the crispy prosciutto over the beans, distributing it evenly. Garnish the dish with fresh rosemary sprigs for a delightful aroma and presentation.
5	Serve your Prosciutto and Garlic Green Beans immediately as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite main course. Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures with each mouthful!

Recipe Notes:

For a twist on this recipe, you can substitute prosciutto with crispy bacon. Simply crisp-fry the bacon, remove any excess grease, and drain it well before adding it to the dish.
If you prefer your vegetables softer, you can adjust the cooking time accordingly, allowing the green beans to cook for a few minutes longer until they reach your desired level of tenderness.
Feel free to customize the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can add additional herbs or spices to enhance the flavor profile of the dish.
