One Year Ago: Inside-Out Philadelphia Sushi Roll with Spicy Sauce
It was a beautiful, sunny day to grill out and I had some asparagus that I needed to use up. I wrapped them in thin slices of prosciutto and they made a wonderfully tasty and easy side dish.

Printable Recipe
- Asparagus, trimmed
- Olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Prosciutto, thinly sliced
Bring a medium pan of water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 2 minutes. Remove the asparagus and place immediately in an ice bath and allow to cool, about 5 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels. Lightly drizzle olive oil over the asparagus and season with salt and pepper.
Split the asparagus into bundles of 4. Wrap each bundle with two slices of prosciutto.
Grill the asparagus seam side down over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until the asparagus is tender, turning halfway through grilling.
Enjoy!
Now if that can't make someone eat their veggies then I don't know what can. Those looks restaurant quality and something I have actually never done before. So doing it now though-would be perfect with our steaks this weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I usually roast mine like this but grilling sounds great too.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite appetizers but, I've never had it grilled or bundle. Your method might be my new favorite :)
