Prosciutto and Grilled Asparagus with Whole Grain Mustard Recipe

Prosciutto and Grilled Asparagus with Whole Grain Mustard Recipe

  • 1¼ pounds asparagus, pencil-thin variety
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • ½ cup creme fraiche
  • 12 thin slices prosciutto di Parma or San Daniele
  • ½ lemon, for juicing
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  1. Light the grill 30 to 40 minutes before you’re ready to cook.
  2. Snap the ends off the asparagus to remove the tough woody portion. Toss the asparagus on a baking sheet with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and some pepper.
  3. Stir the mustard and crème fraîche together in a small bowl, and set aside.
  4. When the coals are broken down, red, and glowing, drape the prosciutto over a platter. Grill the asparagus 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly charred and tender.
  5. Arrange the asparagus on the prosciutto and drizzle the mustard crème fraîche over the top.
