A sure sign of Spring, is when you see a plethora of fresh asparagus at the market!
We’re big fans of asparagus here and vegetables don’t get much better, nor easier than this. This time it’s decked out with a little garlic, wine, prosciutto and lemon pepper. Swap out a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar for the wine, if you prefer, and maybe add a sprinkling of shaved Parmesan cheese to the finished dish.
This is a scrumptious spring veggie dish and I hope you like it as much as we do!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Medeja! It is delicious!
DeleteLove asparagus too. A definite sign of spring. Proscuitto and asparagus is a really nice combination. Proscuitto lends a salty taste and with a slight crunch from sauteeing is delightful.
ReplyDeleteHappy spring!

Thanks so much , Louise! It's good to see you here and I hope all is well.
DeletePam, This side dish is right up my alley! Love asparagus and we have one of the top producers of prosciutto in the USA right down the road from us! Benton's bacon, hams and prosciutto are used by chefs all over the country. Better yet, for us locals, he sells his product to use at very reasonable prices. I can't wait to try this simple but luscious recipe! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteDave, great! Lucky you with Benton's nearby! I bet their prosciutto and country ham are great. I will have to check out their website. Take care.
Deleteummmmm...this really looks great..we love asparagus any way it's cooked
ReplyDeletebi, thanks! We love it any way also.
DeleteA great way to spiff up asparagus. However...asparagus is so tasty no matter how you serve it. Hope you have a fun weekend.
ReplyDeleteShug, thanks! Asparagus is way up there on my list of favorites. Take care.
DeleteI have yet to get some asparagus this spring. I could just make a meal of this.
ReplyDeleteDebra, a meal of just his would be great!
DeleteI like the salty edge the ham adds to this. I have asparagus in the fridge that I was just going to grill but now maybe I'll do this instead.
ReplyDeleteChris, yes, the saltiness of the prosciutto is great paired with asparagus. Hope you try it!
DeleteI've never tried prosciutto with asparagus and love the idea! Simple and delicious!
ReplyDeleteSusan, I hope you give it a try, it's good!
DeleteThis sounds good! I have never tried it this way!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, it's a great pairing to try!

We just harvested our first asparagus of the season. It is fascinating to grow and they say a good bed of asparagus may grow for 20 years. We had to wait until the third season to pick it and this is it! So excited to try many new asparagus recipes in the weeks to come. I can not believe it grows 6 inches in one day! I go to work in the morning and come home to asparagus big enough to pick for dinner. Lovely recipe!
ReplyDeleteSuch a tasty way to prepare asparagus!
ReplyDeleteYum!
