Preparation
Prepare the prosciutto-wrapped green beans: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the green beans with melted butter (½ Tbsp), black pepper (¼ tsp), and garlic powder (¼ tsp if using.) Gather 4-5 green beans and wrap a slice of prosciutto around them, securing the ends if needed. Repeat with the remaining green beans. Place the bundles on a baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the green beans are tender.
Poach the egg: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add the white vinegar (1 Tbsp). Crack the large egg into a small bowl, then carefully slide it into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg and drain on a paper towel. Lightly season with salt to taste.
Assemble the dish: Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped green beans on a plate. Place the poached egg on top or beside the bundles. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese (1 Tbsp), fresh chopped parsley or chives (as needed), and a little extra black pepper.
In this webinar for the Broken Science Initiative Medical Society, Ivor Cummins presents a comprehensive overview of the science surrounding optimal health. He argues that the true root causes of modern chronic diseases—such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity—are not high cholesterol or saturated fat, but rather insulin resistance and poor metabolic health driven by high-carbohydrate, ultra-processed diets.
