Time 27m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

36 asparagus spears
30 g butter
1 cup spring onion (scallions chopped)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh)
1 cup parmesan cheese (grated or shredded)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
12 slices ham (leg cut thin)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°C.
  • Snap one of the asparagus spears to find the tender point and then cut them all so they are the same length.
  • Boil in salted water for 3 minutes and then drain.
  • Melt the butter in a small frypan and add the spring onions and cook over a gentle heat until slightly softened - about 3 minutes.
  • Add to the frypan the mustard, half the cream, half the cheese and the lemon juice, mix well together and check the seasoning and adjust as necessary.
  • Lay out the slices of ham and divide the mixture evenly between the 12 slices.
  • Put three spears on each slice and roll up neatly.
  • Place in a baking dish in a single layer and pour over the rest of the cream and scatter the remaining cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until all is hot.
