  • Toss asparagus with oil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Wrap 1 length of prosciutto around the middle of 4 asparagus spears. Repeat, making 4 bundles. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the asparagus bundles, turning once or twice, until the asparagus is tender and charred in spots, about 10 minutes.

Tips

Tip: To oil the grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)

I par boil the asparagus for a couple of minutes and then immediately put into ice cold water. I then take the prosciutto and cut in half lenghtwise. I then put garlic and herb cream cheese on the meat. I then wrap the aspargus (one or two stems if small) with the prosciutto wrapping up the stem. Drizzle with olive oil and bake on a tray at 424 degrees in the oven for 10- 15 mins turning once. Serve as an appetizer prior to dinner. Guests rave over them. Read More
