Asparagus & Mint Prosciutto Wraps

 Asparagus & Mint Prosciutto Wraps

Date added: July 3, 2008

Recipe from SIZZLE: Sensational Barbecue Food by Julie Biuso.

These asparagus wraps are imbued with a hint of caramelly smokiness. The salt “hit” from crisp prosciutto is wiped clean by lemon and mint, making them irresistible. You can make up the wraps a few hours before cooking as long as you keep them refrigerated, but bring them to room temperature before cooking. Accompany with lemon wedges or a spicy dipping sauce.

3- Wrap each spear in a slice of prosciutto or ham, enclosing four mint leaves with each spear.
