Roasted salami-wrapped asparagus: appetizer or cocktail food

 

Roasted Salami Wrapped asparagus

 
The level of saltiness of salami varies from one sausage maker to another. How many slices of salami you will need to wrap each bunch of asparagus depends largely on how salty your salami is. In this recipe, I used a 1:1 ratio. That's one slice of salami for every asparagus spear.
 
 
Prep Time: minutes 
Cook Time: 10 minutes 
Total Time: 15 minutes
 
Servings: 4 
 

Ingredients

  • 24 asparagus spears
  • 24 slices salami
  • grated Pecorino to garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Rinse the asparagus spears, drain and dry by wrapping in a kitchen towel.
  • Bend each spear and allow the woody end to break off naturally. Discard the woody ends.
  • Arrange three salami slices on a plate so that they slightly overlap.
  • Lay three asparagus spears on one edge of the overlapping salami slices so that the tops are exposed.
  • Roll the salami to completely cover the bottom halves of the asparagus spears.
  • Do the same with the remaining salami slices and asparagus.
  • Line a baking tray with foil and arrange the salami-wrapped asparagus in a single layer.
  • Pop the tray into the oven and cook the salami-wrapped asparagus for ten minutes.
  • Transfer the roasted salami-wrapped asparagus to a plate, optionally grate Pecorino over them and serve at once.

Ya, hits my heart often but especially today!

 

I can't believe it's been that long!!!

 

It was the year my DD was born so I was especially afraid of what was happening to our country with an infant.
