Peppery prosciutto asparagus wraps on mashed potato
Saturday, May 26th, 2007
This is a picture of the ingredients used.
Start by peeling, chopping then boiling the potatoes since it takes the longest time.
Break off the storks of the asparagus and wrap a piece of prosciutto diagonally around each two. Use a toothpick at each end to keep them in place. Ensure toothpicks are parallel so the wraps don’t end up sitting funnily in the oven.
Preheat the oven to 200o. Bake wraps for 10-15 minutes, turning as needed. A griller can also be used.
Whilst the wraps are cooking, drain the potatoes. Mash them with a little milk, margarine/butter, salt and fresh pepper.
Place the mash potato on a plate, add the wraps on top, then liberally pour pepper gravy over the top. This last part renders the dish totally unphotogenic, so a photo of the dish without the gravy shows the almost finished dish.
