This recipe was inspired by my love of Italian food and my desire to create something unique. I wanted to combine two ingredients that I thought were great together – prosciutto and asparagus. The result is a delicious appetizer or side dish that is sure to impress guests at your next dinner party.
Prosciutto is a type of cured ham from Italy. It has a rich flavor and a firm texture. Prosciutto is usually thinly sliced and served cold. This recipe uses prosciutto wrapped around asparagus spears.
I’m not a huge fan of camping. One of the reasons is that I don’t like traditional camping food like hot dogs. But I do want my kids to experience those memories. Making good camp food makes those trips more tolerable for me. This campfire proscuitto wrapped asparagus bring some foodie food to the campsite.
We host an appetizer night at our campsite each year, so I’m always looking for new things to try over a fire. These were perfect for the occasion.
