Extremely easy and elegant appetizer. Asparagus spears are wrapped in a sheath of prosciutto, then baked until crispy. A great dish to make ahead, and bake just before serving. Asparagus and lemony bread crumbs were practically made for each other! It is such a magical combination of flavors, just enjoy it!

Ingredients

  • ground pepper

  • kosher salt

  • 12 slices prosciutto

  • 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest

  • 1 tbsp. minced flat-leaf parsley

  • 1 tbsp. freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 1/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs or panko

  • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 pound thin asparagus

Method

  • 01
    Light a hardwood charcoal fire. Brush the asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus over moderately high heat, turning, until lightly charred and almost tender, 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
  • 02
    Meanwhile, in a small cast-iron skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the bread crumbs and garlic and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until the crumbs are golden and crisp, 4 minutes.
  • 03
    Remove from the heat and let cool slightly, then stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, parsley and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper.
  • 04
    Divide the asparagus into 6 even piles. On a work surface, arrange the prosciutto slices in 6 pairs, overlapping slightly. Set an asparagus pile on each prosciutto pair and roll-up.
  • 05
    Grill the bundles over moderately high heat, turning, until the asparagus are tender and the prosciutto is crisp 4 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle the lemony bread crumbs on top and serve.
