  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and add prosciutto in a single layer (you may have to do this in batches). Cook until prosciutto is crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes, then remove from the pan to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool slightly. Roughly crumble prosciutto and set aside.
  • Return the pan to medium heat and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. When oil shimmers, add jerusalem artichokes, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until fork tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Add shallots and cook until golden, about 3 minutes more. Stir in crumbled prosciutto, mint, and lemon juice, adjust seasoning as needed, and serve immediately.
