Low heat on a charcoal fire is perfect for grilling these bundles. Over low heat, fat renders out of the prosciutto, causing it to shrink and tightly grip the asparagus bundles. I often lay 1/2 of the charcoal on one side of the grill for a hot fire and the other 1/2 for a low fire, for cooking vegetables like these.This recipe is one I found in Cuisine at Home magazine. It is a wonderful side dish to dress up your outdoor grilled dinner menu. Ingredients:
1 lb trimmed asparagus |
4 slices prosciutto |
Directions:
1. Preheat grill and insure that the coals are not too hot.
2. Wrap two bundles of 5 - 6 spears of asparagus, each with one slice of prosciutto.
3. Secure prosciutto with a toothpick where needed.
4. Season with pepper.
5. Grill over low heat, turning once.
6. Grill until prosciutto is crisp and asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes.
