Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• spanish extra-virgin olive oil
• 20 asparagus spears (think stalks)
• 4 slices spanish cured ham

Recipe

• 1 brush a large skillet or flat griddle with a little olive oil and heat over medium heat.
• 2 divide the asparagus into 4 bundles of 5 stalks.
• 3 wrap each bundle with a slice of ham.
• 4 place the bundles in the skillet. cook the asparagus on each side until they caramelize slighty and the ham becomes crispy, 5-8 minutes.
• 5 note: be careful not to let the bundles over cook. you want the asparagus to stay crisp and for the ham not to burn.
• 6 try this spanish dish with a glass of godello or treixadura from ribeiro, a wine region in galicia where the dish comes from. the balanced acidity of the wine complements the asparagus.
