Chilled Asparagus with Prosciutto and Lemon
Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 (3 ounce) package prosciutto
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
1
Boil a substantial container of salted water until it reaches a vigorous, churning motion. Prepare the asparagus by submerging it in boiling water until it reaches a tender yet still snappy texture, approximately 4 minutes. Immediately transfer the asparagus to an ice-filled container to halt cooking and preserve its vibrant green hue. Remove excess water and gently pat dry with paper towels.
2
Divide the asparagus into 5 compact clusters and encase each one within a thin layer of cured prosciutto. Drizzle a squeeze of lemon juice over each bundle and sprinkle with a pinch of citrus zest.
