  5. 1/2 lemon
  6. 5 slices of Prosciutto, chopped
  7. 1/2 head of Radicchio
  8. 1/4 Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Heat Oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Croutons: Slice the baguette into one inch cubes, place in a bowl, toss with butter, parmesan, sage, garlic and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until golden but still soft in the center. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Sprouts: On the prepared sheet, toss the leek, cauliflower, sprouts, olive oil and salt and pepper. Place in oven and roast for 40 minutes, until softened and some of the sprouts have started to char. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup parmesan and roast for another 10 minutes, until cheese melts. Remove from the oven and cool slightly on sheet.
  4. Dressing: While sprouts are roasting, heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add in garlic, anchovies, and capers. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the garlic starts to turn golden. Squeeze the juice of the 1/2 lemon and stir to make a dressing. At the last minute toss in the Prosciutto to warm slightly. Remove from the heat until ready to assemble.
  5. Assembly: Slice the Radicchio into pieces similar in size to the spouts. In a large bowl, toss sprouts mixture with croutons. Drizzle in the dressing and toss until everything is combined and dressed. Add in Radicchio and Parmesan and toss to dress.
  6. Serve at room temperature.
