Grilled Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus (or Zucchini)

The July edition of our Support Group Newsletter featured the following recipe from EatingWell.com. Asparagus isn't really in season anymore, but summer squashes like Zucchini are in full force so they would be a great fresh substitute for the asparagus and thus we added them as an idea to the recipe!!




16 asparagus spears trimmed or 16 strips of zucchini cut length wise about 1/4" -1/2" wide
1-2 tsp olive oil
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
2 thin slices prosciutto, cut in half length wise

1. Heat grill to medium.

2. Toss asparagus or zucchini with oil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Wrap 1 length of prosciutto around the middle of 4 asparagus/zucchini spears. Repeat, making 4 bundles. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the asparagus bundles, turning once or twice, until the asparagus is tender and charred in spots, about 10 minutes.

Tip: To oil the grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) 

ENJOY!!!
