I love asparagus. It's such an easy vegetable to prepare and it goes well with most meals. You can have asparagus grilled, steamed, baked, chopped and put into salads or pasta. There are endless possibilities. I decided to wrap my asparagus in prosciutto. This is a dish that I make from time to time. It's a great snack and can also be used as an appetizer or a side dish to accompany a meal.
This is how it's made....
What you need:
A bunch of asparagus from your local grocery or farmers market
A pack of prosciutto
Olive oil
Black pepper
Directions:
- Wash and dry asparagus, cut ends
- Toss with olive oil and black pepper
- Then take one asparagus spear and a slice of prosciutto. Start wrapping the prosciutto around the spear, at angle, all the way down to the scaled end.
- Repeat the steps for each spear.
- Place spears evenly on baking sheet.
- Broil for approximately three minutes or until golden and crispy, then, flip to broil other side.
- Let cool and enjoy!
This is quick to prep and takes less than ten minutes to prepare and can also be made in advance and chilled for later on.
Look at the lovely golden goodness. Very tasty. I opted not to add salt when I tossed the asparagus with the olive oil and black pepper as the prosciutto has salt and will add flavor to the spears. Be careful not to over broil as the asparagus will loose it's crunchiness.
Toodles,
