Grilled Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus with Fig Balsamic

The multilayered fruitiness of fig-infused balsamic (look for it with other vinegars at the market) is a nice balance for the sweet and salty prosciutto-wrapped asparagus spears.”

Ingredients

4 thin slices prosciutto
16 asparagus spears (about 1 pound), woody ends trimmed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fig balsamic vinegar
Shaved Parmesan cheese & grilled lemons for garnish

Directions

1Preheat grill to medium-high.
2Cut prosciutto slices in half crosswise and then lengthwise to create 16 strips. Wrap the midsection of each asparagus spear with a strip of prosciutto. Brush the asparagus tips with oil.
3Grill the asparagus, perpendicular to the grates so they don’t fall through, turning occasionally, until the prosciutto and asparagus tips are crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with vinegar and serve with Parmesan and lemons, if desired.
