Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

Unsalted butter, for baking dish
1 large bunch asparagus, about 1 1/2 pounds, trimmed to even lengths and blanched for 4 minutes in boiling, salted water
Gray salt and freshly ground pepper
Seasoned bread crumbs, recipe follows
8 thin slices prosciutto
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Butter a shallow baking dish that is long enough to hold the asparagus. Season the asparagus with salt and pepper, to taste.
Divide the asparagus into 8 equal bundles. Arrange 2 slices of the prosciutto on a work surface so they slightly overlap each other. Place an asparagus bundle on top and roll up carefully in the prosciutto. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Flatten the top of each bundle slightly and sprinkle with 1/4 of the seasoned bread crumbs. Drizzle with the olive oil.
Roast in the oven until heated through and crisp, about 10 minutes. Serve at once on a platter with the sliced ham.
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup fine dried bread crumbs
Pinch gray salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
To make the seasoned bread crumbs, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Tilt the pan and then add the minced garlic and saute briefly until pale gold. Add the bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper, and lower the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bread crumbs are toasted, about 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and add the parsley, lemon zest, and Parmesan. Toss well. (The crumbs keep, tightly sealed and refrigerated, for several days.)

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS BUNDLES

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Bundles image

This is a fantastic and simple way to prepare asparagus! I don't think I will ever go back to just plain steamed asparagus. Prociutto is expensive, but this recipe doesn't use very much. And its TOTALLY worth the expense. This could be a fantastic first course or a side dish

BBQ GRILLED PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS BUNDLES

BBQ Grilled Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus Bundles image

Low heat on a charcoal fire is perfect for grilling these bundles. Over low heat, fat renders out of the prosciutto, causing it to shrink and tightly grip the asparagus bundles. I often lay 1/2 of the charcoal on one side of the grill for a hot fire and the other 1/2 for a low fire, for cooking vegetables like these.This recipe is one I found in "Cuisine at Home" magazine. It is a wonderful side dish to "dress up" your outdoor grilled dinner menu.

Ingredients

1 lb trimmed asparagus
4 slices prosciutto

Steps:

Preheat grill and insure that the coals are not too hot.
Wrap two bundles of 5 - 6 spears of asparagus, each with one slice of prosciutto.
Secure prosciutto with a toothpick where needed.
Season with pepper.
Grill over low heat, turning once.
Grill until prosciutto is crisp and asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

Choose asparagus spears that are about the same thickness so that they cook evenly.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears.
If you are using thick asparagus spears, you can blanch them for 1-2 minutes before wrapping them in prosciutto.
Use a good quality prosciutto that is not too salty.
Wrap the asparagus spears tightly in the prosciutto so that they don't fall apart when cooking.
Bake the asparagus bundles at a high temperature so that the prosciutto gets crispy.
Serve the asparagus bundles immediately with a dipping sauce of your choice.
