Sautéed Asparagus w/Prosciutto



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!

Sautéed Asparagus w/Prosciutto

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 ounces sliced prosciutto, torn into bite-size pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons dry white wine
2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed
½ teaspoon lemon pepper

Method:

Slice asparagus on a sharp diagonal about 2-inches long, leaving the tips whole.
Heat oil and butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Sauté garlic for a minute, stirring frequently.
Stir in wine.
Add asparagus and prosciutto, toss to mix.
Cook, tossing occasionally, until asparagus is bright green and crisp-tender, about 10 minutes, depending upon thickness.
Season with salt and lemon pepper.
Serves 4-6



ENJOY!
