Roasted Asparagus with Prosciutto
2-3
bunches asparagus
75g pack of prosciutto
50g roasted hazelnuts
extra virgin olive oil
flakey sea salt
cold-pressed hazelnut oil
lemon juice
Peel the asparagus if you wish. Take three or
four spears and place them on a strip of prosciutto and roll
them up so the dried ham forms a band around the middle and
holds the spears together.
Heat your oven to 200C. Place the bundles of asparagus
on a roasting tray and drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast
for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Finely chop the roasted hazelnuts and sprinkle
over the centre of the asparagus. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on
the asparagus, drizzle over a little hazelnut oil and sprinkle
with the salt.
Serves 4-6.
The hazelnuts can be toasted in a non-stick frying
pan or in a non-stick cake tin in the oven. Check regularly to
ensure they don't burn.
