ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO



Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 8 servings of 2 asparagus spears each

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons butter
2 egg yolks from pasteurized eggs (these are identified in stores as "pasteurized" and although not cooked, they have been sufficiently heated for food safety)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
Dash salt
16 asparagus spears, tough ends snapped off, and boiled until just tender but still bright green
16 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Clarify butter by melting it in a very small pot or metal container over low heat and scooping out the foam that rises. Then, spoon off the clear butterfat to a clean bowl or container, being careful not to disturb the water or milk solids at the bottom. The clear portion is clarified butter. Set this aside briefly in a warm place. Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, and salt in a blender and process at high speed for about 60 seconds. Leaving the blender running, pour the clarified butter through the feed opening of the blender in a slow steady stream and mix until thickened. Pour into a shallow plate. Dip each asparagus spear into the sauce so that three-fourths of the stick is covered to hold prosciutto in place, then wrap a slice of prosciutto over the sauce on each asparagus spear, leaving a dry end for guests to serve themselves.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND PROSCIUTTO

Time 35m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound fresh asparagus (not too thin)
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 large slices prosciutto
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 extra-large eggs
Easy Hollandaise Sauce, recipe follows
2 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • If the asparagus are thick, peel them halfway up the stalks. Cut off and discard the bottom third of the asparagus. Place the asparagus in a single layer on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 10 minutes, until the stalks are just tender. Meanwhile, place the prosciutto in a single layer on another sheet pan and roast in the same oven for 5 minutes.
  • Melt the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium heat and wait until the bubbles almost subside. Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them separate, if possible. Sprinkle the eggs generously with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until the whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny. Don't turn them over!
  • Arrange the asparagus on 3 plates. Place 2 slices of prosciutto on top of each pile, drizzle with hollandaise, and place a fried egg on top of the prosciutto. Serve hot.
  • Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in the jar of a blender and process on low for 15 seconds. Melt the butter in a small saucepan until it is sizzling hot. Remove the small clear insert in the top of the blender. With the blender on low, slowly add the hot butter to the egg and lemon mixture and blend for 30 seconds, until the sauce is very thick. Use immediately.

Provided by Lisa Lin

Categories     Side Dish

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound asparagus, preferably thick spears
3 to 3 1/2 ounces sliced prosciutto
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
Ground black pepper
Lemon zest, optional
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400°F: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Prepare the asparagus: Rinse and pat dry the asparagus. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Set asparagus spears aside. (Reserve the snapped ends for another meal, if you like.)
  • Wrap the asparagus with prosciutto: Cut prosciutto slices in half down their length. Wrap each spear of asparagus with one strip of sliced prosciutto. Tug the prosciutto a little as you wrap it around the asparagus to give it tension. This helps to ensure that the prosciutto wraps around the asparagus tightly. Lay the wrapped asparagus spears on the lined sheet pan.
  • Drizzle the asparagus with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil: Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper on top.
  • Bake the asparagus for 8 to 10 minutes: When done, the asparagus will be bright green and easily pierced with a fork, and the prosciutto will be crisped around the edges.
