Ingredients
- 12 asparagus spears
- 6 slices prosciutto
- 6 leaves fresh sage
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and trim the asparagus spears (See Note 1)
- Cut prosciutto strips into two halves lengthways, ending up with 12 strips.
- Place each prosciutto strip on a cutting board at a 45 degree angle. Place one of the sage leaves in the center then an asparagus spear on top of the meat, perpendicular to it. Wrap and roll the asparagus spear in a spiral like a candy cane stripe up to the top of the spear, allowing the tip to still show. Continue with the others and refrigerate for 10 minutes. I found this helps the prosciutto adhere and stay on.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and sauté wrapped asparagus spears for 1-2 minutes on each side until prosciutto is brown and crispy. Season with freshly ground black pepper and serve.

Notes
- Wash asparagus and with one hand on the center of the spear and the other on the end, slightly bend until the tough end breaks. Discard the ends.
