Lemony Grilled Asparagus with Straciatella and Prosciutto

Lemony Grilled Asparagus with Straciatella and Prosciutto

We fell in love with this dish when we had it our one of our favorite restaurants in Atlanta.  We've made it at home so many times since we first enjoyed it, and highlights the bright, clean flavors of summer.  

INGREDIENTS: 

1 lemon
1 bunch of Asparagus 
1 -1/2 teaspoon Bella Cucina Wild Oregano & Sage Salt 
5 Tablespoons Bella Cucina Extra Olive Oil 
1 ounce Strachiatella cheese 
3 slices prosciutto or Jamon Iberico 
1/4 teaspoon Wildflower Scented Salt 

 

PREPARATION: Ready your grill or grill pan until it's hot.

Cut the lemon into 1/4 inch slices. Toss with 1 Tablespoon olive oil.  Place on the grill or in the grill pan and cook just until golden and caramelized. Set aside. 

Cut off the woody bottom stems from the asparagus and toss with 2 tablespoons of  olive oil and the oregano salt.  Place on the grill or in the grill pan and cook just until tender, but still slightly firm. Remove and place on a plate or platter.  Top with the cheese, ham and lemons. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.  Garnish with a light sprinkle of the Wildflower salt.
