Grilled Asparagus With Prosciutto Food

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Cut each prosciutto slice crosswise in half. Spread each piece with about 1 teaspoon cheese; wrap around an asparagus spear., Place on an oiled grill rack over medium heat, seam side down. Grill, covered, until prosciutto is lightly browned, 6-8 minutes, turning once.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. In shallow dish, toss asparagus with oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Grill asparagus, turning occasionally, until tender when pierced with tip of a paring knife, 8 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, place prosciutto slices on grill; cook, turning often, until crispy and slightly charred, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Place asparagus on serving platter; crumble grilled prosciutto over the top.

WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F. Wrap 2 asparagus spears with a slice of prosciutto. Place spears on baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on the tips and ends of the asparagus (avoiding the prosciutto). Roast for 8-10 minutes, until the asparagus is cooked through and the prosciutto becomes crispy.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the Philadelphia Cooking Cream with the water. Microwave on medium setting for 45 seconds. If you can't find the Philadelphia Cooking Creme, feel free to omit (the Crispy Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus is great as-is!) or substitute with 1/4 cup Philadelphia Cream Cheese mixed with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise + 2 tablespoons water and your favorite chopped fresh herbs.
• Plate the asparagus and drizzle the Philadelphia Cooking Cream over the asparagus. Serve immediately.

ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN CRISP PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and coat with olive oil.
• Wrap one slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear, starting at the bottom, and spiraling up to the tip. Place the wrapped spears on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 5 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove, and shake the pan back and forth to roll the spears over. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until asparagus is tender, and prosciutto is crisp. Serve immediately.

ASPARAGUS WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• For asparagus, snap off tough ends of spears where they naturally give when bent. Place spears into 1-inch of boiling water. Cover the pan and cook asparagus for 3 or 4 minutes, until spears are just tender but remain bright green in color, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain and cold shock the spears in a colander under cool water. Return cooked asparagus to skillet and coat with lemon juice and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
• Remove bundles of several spears at a time from the pan and wrap with sliced prosciutto. Pile assembled bundles on a serving plate.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS, PROSCIUTTO, AND POACHED EGG

Steps:

• To poach the eggs, bring 6 to 8 inches of water to a boil in a large, deep saucepan. Prepare an ice bath. Add the vinegar to the boiling water and reduce the heat to a simmer. Crack 1 egg into a small cup or ramekin. Using a wooden spoon, stir the water at the edge of the pan twice in a circular motion to get the water moving, then add the egg to the center of the pan. Simmer gently for 1 1/2 minutes, or until the white is set but the yolk is still runny. With a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the egg to the ice bath. Skim and discard any foam that has risen to the top of the boiling water. Cook the remaining eggs in the same fashion, 1 at a time. (The eggs can be poached several hours ahead and stored in ice water in the refrigerator.)
• When you are ready to cook the asparagus, prepare a charcoal or gas grill for cooking over medium heat or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Hold an asparagus spear with your hands and bend it to break off the less tender bottom end. Trim all of the asparagus to the same length. If using medium or large asparagus, peel the stalks with a vegetable peeler. Spread the asparagus on the parchment-lined baking sheet, generously coat with canola oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the asparagus on the grill or, working in batches, in the grill pan. Cook the asparagus until tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side, flipping with a narrow spatula. Arrange the asparagus on a platter.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a simmer. If you're a perfectionist, an aspiring three-star chef, or you just can't help yourself, use a small pair of scissors to trim any uneven edges from the poached eggs. Using a skimmer or a slotted spoon, lower the eggs into the simmering water for about 30 seconds, just to reheat. Remove the eggs and blot the bottoms with paper towels.
• Season the eggs with salt and pepper and place them around the asparagus. Arrange the prosciutto and torn croutons on the platter, then drizzle all of the components with olive oil and balsamic and sprinkle with fleur de sel and pepper.

SEARED PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC DRIZZLE

Steps:

• 1. Put vinegar into a small heavy-bottomed saucepan and simmer over medium heat until reduced by about two-thirds and slightly syrupy, 8-10 minutes. Remove pan from heat and set aside to let syrup cool.
• 2. Meanwhile, steam asparagus in a steamer basket set over a pot of boiling water over high heat until just tender, about 4 minutes. Set asparagus aside to let cool.
• 3. Lay 1 slice of prosciutto on a clean surface with one of the narrow ends closest to you. Put 2 asparagus spears on end closest to you, perpendicular to prosciutto, with tips facing in the same direction, then roll up prosciutto around asparagus and set aside. Repeat with remaining prosciutto and asparagus.
• 4. Working in 3 batches, melt 1 tablespoons butter in a large cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 of the asparagus-prosciutto bundles, judiciously season with salt, and cook until browned on each side, about 45 seconds per side. Transfer to a large warm plate. Repeat process twice with remaining butter and asparagus-prosciutto bundles.
• 5. Drizzle some of the vinegar syrup on each of the warm plates, then divide asparagus-prosciutto bundles evenly between plates.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill over medium until the temperature is a steady 300ºF - 350ºF. Or you can preheat the oven to 400ºF.
• While the grill preheats, snap the tough ends off the asparagus.
• Wrap the asparagus spears with the strips of prosciutto. If the asparagus is thin, around 1/4″, group together 3 at a time to wrap with 1 strip of prosciutto.
• Once you've wrapped all the asparagus with prosciutto strips, brush them with the olive oil.
• Then lay them crosswise to the grill slats, and lower the heat to medium low. It's important to keep the temperature between that 300ºF- 350ºF range so that you don't have any flare ups.
• Or you can place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and roast for 8-12 minutes or until just tender. The timing will depend on the thickness of the asparagus spears.
• If grilling, cook the asparagus for 6-8 minutes or until just tender. As the asparagus cooks turn it 2-3 times to grill all the sides.
• Serve immediately with your choice of main dish. This dish is also great at room temperature and can be packed for a picnic as well.
• Drizzle with the optional reduced or aged balsamic vinegar for a super tasty variation.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium high.
• Toss trimmed fresh asparagus with Olive oil and salt and pepper.
• Place asparagus on grill, turning occasional, until they are becoming charred, about 5-7 minutes.
• Remove from grill and wrap each spear with prosciutto, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve. Also great served chilled as an appetizer.

PLANKED ASPARAGUS BUNDLES WITH CHEESE & PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Trim the asparagus and "blanch" it by dropping it into salted, boiling water for 20 seconds. Remove the asparagus from the water and immediately place it in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
• Spread out a slice of proscuitto and place 3 spears of asparagus on it.
• Add cheese to the asparagus (reserving ½ cup of cheese for topping) and wrap the prosciutto around it. Continue process until you have 6 bundles.
• Preheat the grill to medium high 375°F/190°C.
• Place the plank on the grill, close the lid and heat the plank for 4-5 minutes (or until the plank starts smoking).
• Reduce heat to medium low 325°F/160°C.
• Place the bundles on the plank and top with cheese, working quickly.
• Close the lid and cook until the cheese is melted and the prosciutto is starting to crisp around the edges.
• Remove from grill and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Trim the ends off of the asparagus spears and place in a large bowl or pan and cover with cold water and let stand for 1 hour. This will allow the asparagus to absorb a little moisture and stay crisp & moist when grilling. Drain asparagus. Drizzle asparagus with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Not too much just a little, add minced garlic and season to taste with freshly ground black pepper. Gently mix to evenly coat the asparagus. Lay a slice of prosciutto vertically (short end at the bottom) on a flat work surface. Place one seasoned asparagus spear across the middle of the prosciutto at the bottom end and roll up the asparagus tightly in the prosciutto. Repeat with remaining asparagus. Line up 4 prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears.
• Skewer the 4 spears together, 2 skewers per group of 4 wrapped asparagus.
• This will make it easier to grill the asparagus. Repeat until you have 6 skewers of 4. They end up looking like little rafts of prosciutto wrapped asparagus.
• Preheat grill to medium high 450-550° F. Cook asparagus until tender and prosciutto crisps, about 3-4 minutes per side.
• Remove from grill, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and balsamic vinegar and serve immediately with grilled Tony Roma's BBQ Baby Back Ribs.
