Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds Asparagus (medium)
1/2 pound Pancetta (thin)
1 Juice and zest of Orange
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup Olive oil
2 teaspoons Thyme (chopped)

Steps:

  • Tightly wrap each asparagus spear in a slice of pancetta and refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes.
  • Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. In a small bowl, stir the orange zest and juice with the mustard and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus over moderate heat, turning often, until they are just tender and the pancetta is crisp, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the asparagus to a platter and drizzle with the dressing. Sprinkle with the thyme and serve.
