Asparagus Wrapped Prosciutto Recipes

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Spread prosciutto slices with Neufchatel cheese. Wrap slices around 2 or 3 asparagus spears. Arrange wrapped spears in a single layer on a medium baking sheet.
• Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until asparagus is tender.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Snap the dry stem ends off of each asparagus and place on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss. Roast until the asparagus is tender, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
• Wrap each asparagus with 1 piece (about 1/2 a slice) of prosciutto, exposing tips. Arrange on a platter and serve at room temperature.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400°F: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Prepare the asparagus: Rinse and pat dry the asparagus. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Set asparagus spears aside. (Reserve the snapped ends for another meal, if you like.)
• Wrap the asparagus with prosciutto: Cut prosciutto slices in half down their length. Wrap each spear of asparagus with one strip of sliced prosciutto. Tug the prosciutto a little as you wrap it around the asparagus to give it tension. This helps to ensure that the prosciutto wraps around the asparagus tightly. Lay the wrapped asparagus spears on the lined sheet pan.
• Drizzle the asparagus with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil: Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper on top.
• Bake the asparagus for 8 to 10 minutes: When done, the asparagus will be bright green and easily pierced with a fork, and the prosciutto will be crisped around the edges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Bend asparagus spears and snap off tough ends. Wrap 3 to 4 spears with a slice of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick. Place bundles in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle some lemon juice and olive oil over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until asparagus is crisp-tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until prosciutto is crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle with more lemon juice after broiling.

Steps:

• Clarify butter by melting it in a very small pot or metal container over low heat and scooping out the foam that rises. Then, spoon off the clear butterfat to a clean bowl or container, being careful not to disturb the water or milk solids at the bottom. The clear portion is clarified butter. Set this aside briefly in a warm place. Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, and salt in a blender and process at high speed for about 60 seconds. Leaving the blender running, pour the clarified butter through the feed opening of the blender in a slow steady stream and mix until thickened. Pour into a shallow plate. Dip each asparagus spear into the sauce so that three-fourths of the stick is covered to hold prosciutto in place, then wrap a slice of prosciutto over the sauce on each asparagus spear, leaving a dry end for guests to serve themselves.

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.

Steps:

• Pour the vinegar into a small pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Turn the heat to medium low and reduce the vinegar by about 1/4, or until it is thick. Let cool.
• Put a pot of salted water over high heat. Trim the asparagus spears to that they are all the same length. Peel the bottom half of the spears with a vegetable peeler. Tie the asparagus together into a bundle using kitchen string. When the water is boiling, lower the asparagus into the pot and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Plunge the asparagus into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When it is completely cold, remove the spears and lay them out onto a rack to dry.
• Roll a slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear. Arrange them on a platter and drizzle over some olive oil. Sprinkle with some pepper and salt. Finally, dribble on some of the reduced balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Combine olive oil and red pepper flakes. Place asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle olive oil mixture over top; mix together with your hands to coat.
• Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around each asparagus spear, angling as you wrap to cover most of the asparagus. Arrange on the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
• Broil in the preheated oven until prosciutto is sizzling and crispy and asparagus is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Transfer asparagus to a serving platter. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and serve immediately.
