Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C / 160 fan.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. In separate sections on the tray, add the prosciutto, onions drizzled in olive oil and nuts. Roast for 5 - 8 minutes, turning once until the prosciutto is crisp and the onions soft. Break the prosciutto into bits.
- Meanwhile, shred the sprouts: First, cut off the tough ends with a knife and remove any brown outer leaves. Shred the sprouts in a food processor, use a mandoline or slice thinly with a sharp knife.
- Finely slice the red cabbage using a mandoline or sharp knife. The finer the better.
- Mix the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.
