Salami-Wrapped Grilled Asparagus

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Stir. Spread. Flip. Repeat: Salami-Wrapped Grilled Asparagus! Whether it’s a snack, appetizer, or side dish you’re needing, think salami. It can be a little savory, smoky, or spicy, depending on the variety. Forget the idea that salami is only served on deli sandwiches. This recipe proves it can be more by adding zing to asparagus.

SALAMI-WRAPPED GRILLED ASPARAGUS

Ingredients:

1 pound asparagus, washed and patted dry

1/2 pound salami, sliced thin

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 1/2 teaspoons everything but bagel seasoning

Instructions:

Preheat the gas grill to 400°. Spray a grill pan with nonstick oil. Set aside. Use a knife to trim the woody ends of the asparagus stalks. Discard the ends. Wrap one piece of salami around the center of each asparagus spear. Repeat until all asparagus is used. Arrange spears in the prepared grill pan. Using a silicone brush, coat the asparagus with olive oil. Sprinkle with everything but bagel seasoning. Place grill pan onto the preheated grill. Close lid and cook for 4 minutes; turn with tongs for even grill marks. Close lid and cook 4 minutes longer, or until the spears are tender and salami is crisp. Transfer to a platter and serve warm.
