Categories     Appetizer

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound asparagus ((look for thicker stems that are about 1-ounce each))
4 ounces prosciutto
2 tablespoons olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
Lemon zest (or lemon wedges, for garnish, optional)
shredded Parmesan cheese (for garnish, optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  • Remove the woody, tough ends from the asparagus. To do this, grab a handful of stems (5-6 at a time) and start to fold near the bottom of the stem. Each stem should break at the spot where it starts to toughen.
  • Cut each piece of prosciutto into quarters (you should have about 16 pieces). Working with one asparagus stem at a time, wrap a piece of prosciutto around the middle of the stem. Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining prosciutto and asparagus.
  • Brush the wrapped stems lightly with olive oil, concentrating most on the flowery tops which dry out easily. Sprinkle with pepper to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon).
  • Bake until the asparagus stems are tender and the prosciutto is crisp, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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.
  • Variation: Drizzle with balsamic vinegar before serving and/or top with crumbled feta cheese before serving.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS WITH MINT DRESSING



Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus with Mint Dressing image

Categories     Appetizer     Side     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Mint     Asparagus     Spring     Healthy     Prosciutto     Boil     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb thin asparagus, tough ends trimmed
2 thin slices prosciutto (1 oz total), halved crosswise
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
1 garlic clove, smashed and peeled
2 tablespoons fat-free chicken broth
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel asparagus with a vegetable peeler starting 2 inches from tips, then cook in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, then transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Divide asparagus among 4 plates and wrap each pile with a slice of prosciutto to form a bundle.
  • Blend together mint, garlic, broth, oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a blender, scraping down sides frequently, until smooth. Drizzle dressing over asparagus.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh asparagus, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful cheeses like mozzarella, goat cheese, or Parmesan. Using high-quality ingredients will elevate the taste of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the asparagus, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the asparagus from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp: You want the asparagus to be cooked through but still have a slight crunch to it. Overcooking the asparagus will make it mushy.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to flavor your asparagus. Some good options include garlic, lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that it is at its peak flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Asparagus is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are looking for a simple side dish or a more elaborate main course, there is an asparagus recipe out there for you. With its delicate flavor and tender-crisp texture, asparagus is a welcome addition to any meal. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious vegetable to cook, give asparagus a try.
