Asparagus Prosciutto Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook asparagus until tender, about 3 minutes depending on thickness. Drain asparagus and shock it in ice water to stop the cooking; pat dry and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Add arugula and asparagus spears to bowl and toss gently to coat, being careful not to break asparagus.
• On a large cutting board or work surface, arrange 3 slices prosciutto vertically and slightly overlapping to form a rectangle, about 6 by 8 inches.
• Lay an even combination of about a 1/4 of the dressed asparagus and arugula horizontally across prosciutto. Tightly roll up prosciutto, jelly-roll style; cut roll on the diagonal into bite-size pieces. Repeat this process to make and cut 4 more rolls.

Steps:

• Thinly slice a baguette; arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 425 degrees F until lightly golden, about 7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Toss halved asparagus spears with olive oil, salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast at 450 degrees F until slightly crisp, 7 minutes. Spread softened butter on the toast rounds. Top with sliced prosciutto and the roasted asparagus.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Snap the dry stem ends off of each asparagus and place on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss. Roast until the asparagus is tender, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
• Wrap each asparagus with 1 piece (about 1/2 a slice) of prosciutto, exposing tips. Arrange on a platter and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Trim the ends off of the asparagus spears and place in a large bowl or pan and cover with cold water and let stand for 1 hour. This will allow the asparagus to absorb a little moisture and stay crisp & moist when grilling. Drain asparagus. Drizzle asparagus with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Not too much just a little, add minced garlic and season to taste with freshly ground black pepper. Gently mix to evenly coat the asparagus. Lay a slice of prosciutto vertically (short end at the bottom) on a flat work surface. Place one seasoned asparagus spear across the middle of the prosciutto at the bottom end and roll up the asparagus tightly in the prosciutto. Repeat with remaining asparagus. Line up 4 prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears.
• Skewer the 4 spears together, 2 skewers per group of 4 wrapped asparagus.
• This will make it easier to grill the asparagus. Repeat until you have 6 skewers of 4. They end up looking like little rafts of prosciutto wrapped asparagus.
• Preheat grill to medium high 450-550° F. Cook asparagus until tender and prosciutto crisps, about 3-4 minutes per side.
• Remove from grill, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and balsamic vinegar and serve immediately with grilled Tony Roma's BBQ Baby Back Ribs.

Steps:

• For asparagus, snap off tough ends of spears where they naturally give when bent. Place spears into 1-inch of boiling water. Cover the pan and cook asparagus for 3 or 4 minutes, until spears are just tender but remain bright green in color, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain and cold shock the spears in a colander under cool water. Return cooked asparagus to skillet and coat with lemon juice and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
• Remove bundles of several spears at a time from the pan and wrap with sliced prosciutto. Pile assembled bundles on a serving plate.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C.
• Crush and finely chop the garlic and put it with the butter in a small pan over a low heat. Heat it until the butter has melted - be careful! Butter burns very easily, as does garlic.
• Remove from the heat and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Sieve the butter/garlic mixture into a bowl.
• Peel and trim the bases of the asparagus stalks.
• Brush a sheet of phyllo with the flavoured butter, double it over and sprinkle it with parmesan and freshly ground black pepper. Lay a slice of Parma Ham on top, then place an asparagus spear across and roll the phyllo pastry around it. Brush the roll with more butter, cut off the ratty ends to tidy it up, then cut the phyllo-wrapped asparagus diagonally into 5cm lengths and place on a sheet of greaseproof paper on a baking tray. Repeat with the rest of the asparagus, phyllo and Parma ham.
• Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove to a serving dish and watch them disappear.

Steps:

• Snap bottoms off of asparagus, use a vegetable peeler to peel spears and steam them to a point where they are not totally wilted. Refrigerate until needed.
• Lay out pieces of prosciutto and spread about one tablespoon of Boursin cheese onto each slice. Mean Chef has a recipe if you find it hard to locate in your local market -- Boursin Cheese - Make your own Recipe #65204.
• Put chilled asparagus spears on kitchen towels to absorb any moisture. Place one or two asparagus spears in each slice of prosciutto and roll. Refrigerate if not serving immediately.

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, and garlic in a bowl; whisk well.
• Stir in the chives and salt and pepper.
• Sread each piece of prosciutto with 1/2 tablespoon of cheese.
• Roll 3 stalks of asparagus in each half of prosciutto.
• Top with vinaigrette.
• Serve at room temperature.
