Barbecued Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto

Hi Libby, finally I've tried cooking the barbeque asparagus but instead of wrapped with prosciutto I wrapped each asparagus spear with a slice of bacon. I love it! thanks for sharing this recipe.

This is definitely going to be on the BBQ this summer. Asparagus is very low in calories, so will be a favourite!!

What a great version of what my husband does---he puts about 8 spears of asparagus wrapped in a piece of bacon on the grill. This is the same idea but with many fewer calories! Thanks so much!

Yum, this is one of my favourit things and so simple, it goes really well with a nice piece of eye fillet and a potato rosti or even for breakfast with a soft poached duck egg and some hollandaise. If you ever find that the prosciutto is a bit dry and trys to keep unravelling, roll the asparagus/prosciutto spear up tightly in cling film and leave in the fridge for a couple of hours which should help it to bond and stay rolled nicely around the asparagus when cooking (obviously will need to be done in advance).

Prosciutto is beautiful - it's like italian ham I guess, it has a stronger taste than normal bacon or ham.

This looks like a great recipe for having people over, and looks so yummy.

Hi Libby, the barbeque asparagus looks so appetizing. I would definitely love to try it. But, I don't know what prosciutto is. It looks like slice of bacon to me.
