Roasted Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Bundles

11/13/2013

0 Comments

 
This easy to make side can transform any simple main course presentation to elegance and sophistication.  Prepare this for company or at home any night of the week.  

My husband teases me that I count everything instead of measuring by the pound.  For this recipe, I like to bundle three asparagus stalks per person by wrapping them in a slice of prosciutto; so I count... :) Bundle more if you’d like.


Ingredients:
  • Olive oil (enough to generously coat asparagus)
  • Medium to thick stalk asparagus (I like 3 per person)
  • Package of thinly sliced prosciutto or deli sliced thin (you need a slice for each bundle)
  • Salt to taste
Preheat Oven 400 Degrees

Step 1
  Wash asparagus and bend each spear until it naturally breaks at the tough end of the stalk. Toss tough end away

Step 2
  Toss asparagus in a bowl with olive oil, and lightly salt

Step 3
  Bundle three asparagus stalks and wrap with one slice of prosciutto

Step 4
  Place asparagus/prosciutto bundles, single layer in a baking dish

Step 5
  Roast 20 minutes, then check with a fork for desired tenderness, roasting longer until you like the texture

Ingredients:
  • 3 T olive oil
  • 1 lb. fresh whole green beans, ends trimmed
  • 1 cup thinly sliced onion in ring form
  • 10 medium whole garlic cloves peeled
  • 1 T balsamic vinegar (sometimes I skip this)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3/4 c toasted pine nuts

Preheat Oven 400 degrees

Step 1
Toss beans, onion and garlic in a bowl with the olive oil, and little salt

Step 2
Spread all ingredients listed in step 1 on a baking sheet

Step 3
Roast 20 minutes, then check for desired tenderness, while stirring, tossing and shaking and roasting in 5 minutes     intervals, until you like the texture

Remove the beans from the oven and drizzle with vinegar.  Top with the toasted pine nuts and salt and pepper to taste.  I love this recipe.  The texture will be much different than cooking green beans the traditional way.  Enjoy!
