Chef Tips:
- Adding prosciutto after the peppers have softened allows for the fats to render slightly, infusing the pepper with flavor.
- For additional texture, lightly toast the macadamia nuts before crushing them.
Additional Notes:
- Adding prosciutto brings a savory depth and an extra layer of texture to this dish. It pairs well with the sweetness of the lychees, while the roasted macadamia nuts offer a satisfying crunch along with a dose of healthy fats and protein.
