GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS



Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus image

Provided by Food Network

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

24 spears fresh asparagus about 1½ lbs. (*See Cook's Note)
Drizzle olive oil
Drizzle balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
24 slices prosciutto
12 - 6 inch bamboo skewers soaked in cold water for 1 hour
Tony Roma's BBQ Baby Back Ribs

Steps:

  • Trim the ends off of the asparagus spears and place in a large bowl or pan and cover with cold water and let stand for 1 hour. This will allow the asparagus to absorb a little moisture and stay crisp & moist when grilling. Drain asparagus. Drizzle asparagus with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Not too much just a little, add minced garlic and season to taste with freshly ground black pepper. Gently mix to evenly coat the asparagus. Lay a slice of prosciutto vertically (short end at the bottom) on a flat work surface. Place one seasoned asparagus spear across the middle of the prosciutto at the bottom end and roll up the asparagus tightly in the prosciutto. Repeat with remaining asparagus. Line up 4 prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears.
  • Skewer the 4 spears together, 2 skewers per group of 4 wrapped asparagus.
  • This will make it easier to grill the asparagus. Repeat until you have 6 skewers of 4. They end up looking like little rafts of prosciutto wrapped asparagus.
  • Preheat grill to medium high 450-550° F. Cook asparagus until tender and prosciutto crisps, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove from grill, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and balsamic vinegar and serve immediately with grilled Tony Roma's BBQ Baby Back Ribs.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS



Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus image

I came up with this dish last night while looking for a prosciutto wrapped asparagus recipe. I prefer to roast my asparagus and I don't care for raw prosciutto, so here's my creation! I wouldn't salt the asparagus because the prosciutto is salty enough. Feel free to season the asparagus with whatever you like: thyme, rosemary, etc. This doesn't just have to be a side dish, it could be finger-food too!

1 lb asparagus, washed and ends trimmed
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces prosciutto, slices cut in half

Steps:

  • Toss asparagus in evoo, and pepper.
  • Wrap prosciutto half around 2 or 3 asparagus at a time, depending on how many prosciutto slices and asparagus spears you have.
  • Lay bundles seam side down on foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Roast at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until asparagus is done to your liking. We like it crunchy, so I roast for only 10 minutes.

SEARED PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC DRIZZLE



Seared Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus With Balsamic Drizzle image

Easy, impressive looking, and delicious. Steam the asparagus and wrap the bundles in advance, sear or grill just before serving. The simple balsamic reduction drizzle at the end really completes the dish, so don't omit it! From Saveur's web site. "This recipe comes from Nick's Italian Cafe in McMinnville, Oregon, where chef and owner Nick Peirano uses ordinary balsamic vinegar and a pinch of sugar in the syrup accompanies these seared asparagus stalks. The recipe appeared in David Sarasohn's article "Nick Peirano Feeds the Oregon Wine Country" (March 2004)...according to Nick Peirano, you may also charcoal-grill these bundles. For the syrup, he uses ordinary balsamic vinegar-nothing expensive-and sometimes adds a pinch of sugar at the end to sweeten it."

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 18 bundles, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
36 thick asparagus spears, trimmed
18 slices prosciutto
3 tablespoons butter
salt (optional, I don't feel it needs it)

Steps:

  • 1. Put vinegar into a small heavy-bottomed saucepan and simmer over medium heat until reduced by about two-thirds and slightly syrupy, 8-10 minutes. Remove pan from heat and set aside to let syrup cool.
  • 2. Meanwhile, steam asparagus in a steamer basket set over a pot of boiling water over high heat until just tender, about 4 minutes. Set asparagus aside to let cool.
  • 3. Lay 1 slice of prosciutto on a clean surface with one of the narrow ends closest to you. Put 2 asparagus spears on end closest to you, perpendicular to prosciutto, with tips facing in the same direction, then roll up prosciutto around asparagus and set aside. Repeat with remaining prosciutto and asparagus.
  • 4. Working in 3 batches, melt 1 tablespoons butter in a large cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 of the asparagus-prosciutto bundles, judiciously season with salt, and cook until browned on each side, about 45 seconds per side. Transfer to a large warm plate. Repeat process twice with remaining butter and asparagus-prosciutto bundles.
  • 5. Drizzle some of the vinegar syrup on each of the warm plates, then divide asparagus-prosciutto bundles evenly between plates.
