Do you ever buy a certain ingredient to make a single dish and then you have a ton of it left over? Honey, I feel you. This is exactly what happened when I made the Miso Hungry Burger.

I bought a whole packet of prosciutto when I only needed a couple of slices. Yeah maybe I could have gone to a deli and got the exact amount of slices I needed, but that requires more effort and time. Plus if I did that this Focaccia would never have been born.

One thing I can not stand is food waste, even when I’m so full I’m about to vomit, if there’s food on my plate I will finish it. Don’t even think about throwing anything away in front of me, whether that be 12 cents worth of oats or $38 steak. I don’t want to sound like a PMSing bitch about it, but I am.

Instead of shoving the prosciutto to the back of the fridge, where it became forgotten about, growing mould and begging for somebody to end its life. I grabbed all the ingredients that looked like they were on their last leg and made this Prosciutto and Tomato Focaccia.

Loaded with a tangy tomato, shallot, and balsamic mix, fire roasted capsicum, salty prosciutto, loads of fresh basil leaves and finally finished off with a generous sprinkling of parmesan cheese. Perfect for a throw together meal when you have an unexpected guest, going on a picnic or just have to use up some ingredients.

I know some parts of the prosciutto look burnt, they didn’t taste burnt just extra crispy. For presentation, purposes do not get distracted by dreamy Gordon Ramsay and keep an eye out if the prosciutto starts to turn before the dough is cooked place a layer of foil over the top for the remaining cooking time.
