ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN SERRANO HAM

Steps:

• Whisk oil, vinegar, shallot, salt and pepper in a bowl. Set aside. Cook asparagus in simmering water until soft but still crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain. Wrap a strip of ham around each asparagus stalk. Toss frisée, greens and grapes with dressing in a bowl, then transfer to a platter; top with asparagus. Garnish with almonds.

ASPARAGUS WITH SERRANO HAM

Steps:

• Cook 1 bunch asparagus (trimmed and peeled) in salted boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Drain and let cool, then pat dry. Wrap each spear with a slice of serrano ham. For the dip: Puree 1/2 cup mayonnaise with 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, 1/2 teaspoon sherry vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon hot smoked paprika.

HAM AND ASPARAGUS FETTUCCINE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Stir asparagus into pot in the last five minutes of cooking; drain.
• While pasta is cooking, heat butter and cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When mixture begins to bubble, stir in Parmesan, garlic powder, pepper and cayenne. Continue cooking until mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Stir in ham and heat through.
• Toss pasta and asparagus with sauce and serve immediately.

ASPARAGUS WITH SERRANO HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Place half the olive oil in a roasting pan that will hold the asparagus spears in a single layer. Swirl it around so that it covers the bottom of pan. Cut each slice of Serrano ham in half lengthwise.
• Trim and discard the coarse woody ends of the asparagus spears, then wrap each stem end in a slice of ham. Place the wrapped spears in the prepared roasting pan and lightly brush with the remaining olive oil. Season with pepper.
• Roast asparagus spears for 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus, until tender but still firm. Do not overcook; keep them firm enough so that you can pickup with your fingers.
• Serve piping hot and with your favorite Aioli Sauce for dipping.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN SERRANO HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with canola oil spray.
• Lay a slice of ham on a work surface. Place a stalk of asparagus perpendicular to the ham, with the tip of the asparagus just higher than the top edge of the ham. Roll the asparagus on a diagonal, tightly wrapping the ham around the stalk as you go. (The ham should cover the entire stalk except for about an inch on the top and bottom ends.) Repeat with the remaining asparagus and ham.
• Place the asparagus, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet and lightly grease the tops with canola oil spray. Bake until the ham is crispy and the asparagus has softened and begun to char at the tips, about 15 minutes. Immediately pour the orange juice over the hot asparagus and season with salt. (The orange juice will almost completely evaporate on the hot baking sheet, but it will infuse the asparagus with orange flavor.)
• Transfer the asparagus to a serving plate and garnish with the orange zest. Serve immediately.

Steps:
