1 cup balsamic vinegar
Salt
12 asparagus spears
12 thin slices prosciutto
Extra-virgin olive oil, to serve
Freshly ground black pepper
Fleur de sel

Steps:

Tie the asparagus together into a bundle using kitchen string. When the water is boiling, lower the asparagus into the pot and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Plunge the asparagus into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When it is completely cold, remove the spears and lay them out onto a rack to dry.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS



Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus image

Prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, roasted in the oven until crisp, is such an easy way to make your asparagus extra special. Great for Easter, Mother's Day, graduation parties, or any spring meal!

Provided by Lisa Lin

Categories     Side Dish

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound asparagus, preferably thick spears
3 to 3 1/2 ounces sliced prosciutto
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
Ground black pepper
Lemon zest, optional
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400°F: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Prepare the asparagus: Rinse and pat dry the asparagus. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Set asparagus spears aside. (Reserve the snapped ends for another meal, if you like.)
  • Wrap the asparagus with prosciutto: Cut prosciutto slices in half down their length. Wrap each spear of asparagus with one strip of sliced prosciutto. Tug the prosciutto a little as you wrap it around the asparagus to give it tension. This helps to ensure that the prosciutto wraps around the asparagus tightly. Lay the wrapped asparagus spears on the lined sheet pan.
  • Drizzle the asparagus with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil: Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper on top.
  • Bake the asparagus for 8 to 10 minutes: When done, the asparagus will be bright green and easily pierced with a fork, and the prosciutto will be crisped around the edges.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS



Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus image

A great appetizer to serve from Bon Appetit. The cheese can be hard to spread on the prosciutto, so try to get the prosciutto cut a little thicker than those in packages. I usually make half of these with the honey mustard, and the other half without it because some people think the mustard is a little too over powering. But either way, they go fast.
