Recipe Introduction

"This asparagus dish will impress even the fanciest dinner party guests."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 6 thin slices country ham
â—¦ 30 to 40 asparagus spears, trimmed
â—¦ 2 tablespoons olive oil
â—¦ 12 chives (optional)


Recipe

Cut each slice ham in half lengthwise to make 12 pieces. Wrap each piece of ham tightly around 3 to 4 asparagus spears. Place seam side down on an oiled grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Grill 6 to 8 minutes, turning frequently.
Remove from grill and, for a little extra flair, secure with a chive ribbon around the ham-wrapped asparagus bundle.

• Tip:
You can also recreate these bundles with green beans, as well as swapping country ham for bacon or prosciutto.
