Servings 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3 bunches asparagus
  • 12 slices prosciutto
  • 200 ml balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Place the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan and place over low heat.
  • Leave the saucepan over the low flame until it has been reduced by 2/3rds, remove and allow to cool.
  • Trim the woody bases off the asparagus spears.
  • Cut the remaining spears into 3 pieces (leaving the flower end slightly longer than the other 2).
  • Fill a pot or large bowl with ice cubes and top with water.
  • In a pot of salted boiling water, blanche the asparagus bits until vibrant & green (less than 1 minute).
  • Strain and plunge them immediately into ice water, allow to cool.
  • Cut the slices of prosciutto in half down the length (or the equivalent width of a belt around the asparagus bits).
  • Arrange one flowery bit of asparagus and two stem pieces on a slice of prosciutto and roll until it has gone around 1 or 2 times and cut of the excess.
  • Repeat this rolling process until all the asparagus bits have been used.
  • Arrange all the asparagus bundles on a serving platter and gently spoon a little of the reduced balsamic on each one immediately before serving.
