Peppery prosciutto asparagus wraps on mashed potato

Prosciutto

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.

Asparagus

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.

Hi James,

Now this receipe looks and sounds good too. I’m tempeted to try it as its simple and easy to make.

Asparagus goes really nice with chicken too. So may be a nice crispy or grilled piece of chicken will go well with that dish. So I might try something like that and then let you know how that goes.

But keep posting your cooking items and receipes. I love it.

Renold.

A piece of chicken breast across it sounds good, maybe we’d need less mashed potato then, just to cut down on the volume a little.

I look forward to getting some tips from you on how to make a lamb curry. :)

Blessings,

James
