1/2 tsp	Olive Oil, Extra Virgin

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the mung beans and return the water to a boil. Simmer until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the beans and set them aside.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add prosciutto and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry on a paper towel.
Wipe out the pan with a piece of paper towel and heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Add the beans, garlic, sage, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the beans start to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir in the pine nuts, lemon zest, and prosciutto.
Squeeze in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve from the pan, or transfer to your favorite serving dish. Enjoy!
