GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS



Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus image

Provided by Food Network

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

24 spears fresh asparagus about 1½ lbs. (*See Cook's Note)
Drizzle olive oil
Drizzle balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
24 slices prosciutto
12 - 6 inch bamboo skewers soaked in cold water for 1 hour
Tony Roma's BBQ Baby Back Ribs

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.

SOLE-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS WITH TANGERINE BEURRE BLANC



Sole-Wrapped Asparagus with Tangerine Beurre Blanc image

Categories     Citrus     Fish     Vegetable     Bake     Passover     Low/No Sugar     Asparagus     Spring     Tangerine     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For fish
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons chopped shallot
4 (2- by 1-inch) strips fresh tangerine zest
1 lb medium asparagus
4 (5- to 6-oz) skinless gray sole or flounder fillets
1/2 cup water
For beurre blanc
1/2 cup fresh tangerine juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt
cayenne
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Prepare fish:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Brush a 13- by 9-inch roasting pan with some of melted butter, then sprinkle shallot and zest in pan.
  • Trim asparagus to about 7 inches long, then peel spears starting from 2 inches below tip of each.
  • Arrange fish fillets, skinned sides up, on a work surface and season with salt and pepper. Lay 5 or 6 asparagus perpendicularly across 1 fillet and wrap fish around them to make a bundle. Repeat with remaining fillets and asparagus. Transfer bundles, seam sides down, to roasting pan and brush fish with remaining melted butter. Season with salt and pepper, then add water to pan. Cover pan tightly with foil and bake until fish is just cooked through and asparagus is crisp-tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Make beurre blanc while fish bakes:
  • Boil tangerine juice with shallot in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to moderately low, then whisk in 1 tablespoon butter, whisking constantly. Add remaining butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly, adding each piece before previous one has completely melted, and lifting pan from heat occasionally to cool mixture. Remove from heat and stir in salt, cayenne, and lemon juice.
  • Transfer fish with a slotted spatula to a platter and reserve pan juices. Cover fish with foil. Discard zest, then pour pan juices into a 10-inch skillet and boil over moderately high heat until reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk into beurre blanc.
  • Blot any liquid accumulated on platter with paper towels, then spoon sauce over fish.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh asparagus spears that are about the same thickness. This will help them cook evenly.
  • If you can't find prosciutto, you can use thinly sliced ham or bacon instead.
  • To make the beurre blanc, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and whisk constantly to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • If you don't have white wine on hand, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead.
  • Be careful not to overcook the asparagus. It should be tender but still slightly crisp.

Conclusion:

Asparagus wrapped in prosciutto with beurre blanc is a classic French dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It's easy to make and looks very impressive. The asparagus is tender and juicy, the prosciutto is salty and crispy, and the beurre blanc is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
