Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 Asparagus spears
12 slices of prosciutto
1 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
fleur de sel to taste
Optional ingredient: chevre

Steps:

  • Cook asparagus spears in large saucepan of boiling water until just crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain. While asparagus is cooking add balsamic vinegar to a skillet and simmer until reduced to about 1/8 cup. Keep warm. When asparagus is ready, lay the individual slices of prosciutto out and lay 3 asparagus spears across the middle at a 90 degree angle. Roll the prosciutto around the asparagus tightly to form 4 little bundles. Place the wrapped spears in a skillet on medium-high heat. Cook until prosciutto is crisp and browned. 3-5 minutes. Remove balsamic reduction from heat and whisk in tablespoon butter until melted. Drizzle over aspargus spears. Serve. For a more decadent version, sprinkle chevre over the spears before wrapping in prosciutto.
