ASPARAGUS GRILLED WITH PROSCIUTTO 

SERVES 2 

8 oz. fresh asparagus spears
4 slices prosciutto
Salt and pepper
Olive oil

 

Trim asparagus of tough ends. Add salt and the asparagus to boiling water and blanch for 2 minutes. Remove from the water and place into an ice water bath to cool. Once cooled, pat dry with paper towels, drizzle with a touch of extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Divide the asparagus into 4 piles and roll 2 layered slices of prosciutto around each pile to form bundles. Grill 7 to 8 minutes until prosciutto is crisp and spears are tender.
