- 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
- Light the grill 30 to 40 minutes before you’re ready to cook.
- 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.
- Stir the mustard and crème fraîche together in a small bowl, and set aside.
- 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.
- Arrange the asparagus on the prosciutto and drizzle the mustard crème fraîche over the top.
