Ingredients
1 pound (about 8) small red plums
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon freshly picked thyme leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 small bunch arugula, stems trimmed
1/2 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
Preparation
Slice the plums in half, and remove pits. Transfer plum halves to a mixing bowl. Add the salt, pepper, and thyme.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the plum halves, cut-sides down, and cook, shaking skillet often, until plums release their juices but still hold together, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the wine and balsamic vinegar; cook until the juice slightly thickens, about 2 minutes more.
Arrange arugula in a mound on a serving platter. Drape the prosciutto over the arugula. Spoon the plums and sauce over the arugula and the prosciutto, and serve.
