What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Daily Special: Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus! For all the asparagus lovers out there, prepared to be impressed. Really impressed. And if you’ve never had the desire to taste a delicate stalk of asparagus that seems to demand an additional fee on the restaurant menu, you may have discovered a reason to give it a whirl. Prosciutto. These two ingredients were destined to marry forever and ever, in my opinion.
PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS
Ingredients:
1-pound fresh asparagus spears, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning
6 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
Instructions:
Raise the oven rack to its highest level, which should be about 5 inches below the coils of the broiler. Preheat the broiler. Meanwhile take the asparagus spears and place in a gallon zip-lock bag. Add the olive oil and seasonings. Seal the bag, squeezing out the air, and flip to coat all pieces. Slice the prosciutto lengthwise. Taking one asparagus spear at a time, begin wrapping prosciutto midway from the tip to the stem base, spiraling as you go, overlapping the seams slightly. Place it on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick oil. Repeat until all pieces are prepared. Before broiling, make sure there is space between the asparagus. Broil for 3 minutes, remove the baking sheet, turn asparagus with a tongs, return to the oven, and broil another 3 minutes. Pieces should slightly char and appear crisp. The secret is to keep them spaced. For best results, choose medium-size asparagus instead of very thin stalks.

Check your local produce section for markdowns near the “expiration” date. You may need to eat it that day, but in Europe they buy produce and bread the day they eat it. 🍓

I do need to do that. I’m getting better about eating produce before it spoils, though.
