Proscuitto Wrapped Asparagus With Feta Cheese Recipes

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

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.

PROSCUITTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS WITH FETA CHEESE RECIPE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350°F ... optional, see below. Cut the asparagus spears to about five inches in length. Par boil in salted water for 4-5 minutes. Drain and put in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Mix the Feta and cream cheese in a bowl with a dinner fork to further crumble the Feta. When well mixed, add freshly ground black pepper to taste. A lot of pepper would be appropriate. Cut the proscuitto slices in half through the short side. Lay a proscuitto slice on the work surface, smear one end with a bit of the cheese mixture (about a teaspoon or so) and roll an asparagus spear up inside the proscuitto piece ... I usually roll from the round end to the cut end. Optionally, place the rolled asparagus/proscuitto pieces on a cooking pan. When all the pieces have been rolled, bake the pieces in the oven for 4-5 minutes to melt the cheese. I don't do this step very often as I don't think the cooked proscuitto tastes as good as the uncooked ... your mileage may vary. Place the rolls on a plate and serve.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

• Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until asparagus is tender.

ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN CRISP PROSCIUTTO

• Wrap one slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear, starting at the bottom, and spiraling up to the tip. Place the wrapped spears on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 5 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove, and shake the pan back and forth to roll the spears over. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until asparagus is tender, and prosciutto is crisp. Serve immediately.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Cut each prosciutto slice crosswise in half. Spread each piece with about 1 teaspoon cheese; wrap around an asparagus spear., Place on an oiled grill rack over medium heat, seam side down. Grill, covered, until prosciutto is lightly browned, 6-8 minutes, turning once.

ASPARAGUS WRAPPED WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Pour the vinegar into a small pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Turn the heat to medium low and reduce the vinegar by about 1/4, or until it is thick. Let cool.
• Put a pot of salted water over high heat. Trim the asparagus spears to that they are all the same length. Peel the bottom half of the spears with a vegetable peeler. Tie the asparagus together into a bundle using kitchen string. When the water is boiling, lower the asparagus into the pot and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Plunge the asparagus into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When it is completely cold, remove the spears and lay them out onto a rack to dry.
• Roll a slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear. Arrange them on a platter and drizzle over some olive oil. Sprinkle with some pepper and salt. Finally, dribble on some of the reduced balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS SPEARS

Steps:

• Trim the asparagus stalks so that the spears are 5 inches long. In a deep skillet bring 1 1/2 inches salted water to a boil and cook the asparagus until they are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. In a colander drain the asparagus and rinse under cold water. Drain the asparagus well on paper towels.
• In a bowl mash the Boursin with a fork until it is smooth. Cut 1 slice of prosciutto lengthwise into 1-inch strips and spread each strip with about 1/2 teaspoon Boursin. Spread about 1/4 teaspoon mustard over the Boursin and wrap each strip in a spiral around an asparagus spear, trimming any excess. Make more hors d'oeuvres with the remaining prosciutto, Boursin, mustard, and asparagus spears in the same manner.

• Divide asparagus among 4 plates and wrap each pile with a slice of prosciutto to form a bundle.
• Blend together mint, garlic, broth, oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a blender, scraping down sides frequently, until smooth. Drizzle dressing over asparagus.
