Prosciutto wrapped Asparagus


I wasn't a fan of asparagus until recently and wrapping it in prosciutto just took it to a whole new level.  I actually ate most of it right out of the skillet before my other dishes had finished.  

I cooked in the skillet but this could be a good recipe on the grill too.  

Recipe:

12 asparagus spears 
6 slices of prosciutto 
Butter or olive oil 

Wash asparagus and trim 2 cm off the end.  Cut prosciutto in halves lengthways so you have twelve slices.  Diagonally wrap the prosciutto around the asparagus.  Heat approximately 2 tsp of oil in skillet over medium high heat.  Add wrapped asparagus and cook 2 minutes on each side or until prosciutto is a little crispy.  Remove and serve.

ENJOY!

  1. This looks really good - I've been eating much healthier lately, but I like so few vegetables that it's hard not to get repetitive with sides. I will have to try asparagus and see if I like it, this recipe seems like a good way to find out.

  2. Yes, Kroger is the only place I've found prosciutto but I never go to Wal-Mart so they might have started carrying it. I hope you like it
