Categories     Cheese

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large bunch fresh asparagus
4 large slices Parma ham or prosciutto
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons good-quality, thick
balsamic vinegar
Fresh buffalo mozzarella

Steps:

  • You will need enough asparagus to end up with 2 large or 4 smaller stalks per person. Peel very large asparagus with a vegetable peeler and trim, wash and dry them all. Remove any woody sections of stalks. Cut the Parma ham into enough pieces to wrap each stalk. Heat a griddle pan or light a grill to medium heat. Brush asparagus all over with olive oil and grill on all sides, turning frequently, until soft all the way through and very slightly blackened on the outside. Cool, then wrap each stalk in Parma ham and arrange on a dish. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste, then tear the mozzarella into pieces, scatter on top and serve at once.
