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.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC AND HERB CHEESE

Steps:

• Begin by cutting about 1/2″ off the bottom of the asparagus or any unsightly trunks. Blanch the asparagus by boiling it in a large skillet over high heat in enough water to cover it by 1″. Boil rapidly for 1 minute. Remove the asparagus and immediately plunge in ice water. Dry with paper towels.
• Spread a thin layer of softened (room temperature) cheese over the slices of prosciutto (this can get messy so start with a little and add as you go).
• Bundle 3 asparagus spears together and wrap with the prosciutto like a candy cane or on an angle twisting up as you go.
• Place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray.
• Using a brush (or fingers) moisten the exposed asparagus with a little olive oil. This will help prevent them from drying out while cooking.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 400 F on the middle rack. They are done when a fork just pierces thru the thickest part of the asparagus. Be careful not to overcook.
• Place on a platter and lightly drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
