Lo and behold…I won this awesome Appetizers Finger Food Buffets and Parties book!! Somehow I missed her posts, with my crazy week (destination wedding of my friend Jess and Damian), then a few evenings where I was tied up with work! (Yuck, I know)! Thankfully, I caught on her earlier posts… so here comes the big hefty 400+ pages gorgeous cookbook with all of the great recipes that will last me for a lifetime! Thanks Kate!!
Ingredients
6 slices of Serrano Ham (I used Prosciutto, but you can also use Portuguese presunto instead)
12 Asparagus Spears
1 tbsp olive oil
Sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper
(The picture above really doesn’t do a justice of how delicious this dish was, and how simple!)
Directions
1. Preheat the grill (broiler) to high.
2. Cut each slice of ham lengthwise in half and wrap one half around each of the asparagus spears.
3. Brush the ham and asparagus lightly with oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Place on the grill rack. Grill, turning frequently but carefully with tongs, for 5-6 minutes, until the asparagus is tender but still firm. Serve immediately.
Wow, thanks for the nice post and I LOVE what you’ve made. I’ve meant to make this type of asparagus again and again because every time I see it, it looks fantastic. I’m going to try it, for sure. How funny is that — I send you the cookbook, and I only cook from it *after* I give it away, and not while I have it?! Craziness.
