Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

This is so easy and elegant! A fun appetizer for parties or a simple picnic treat.
Asparagus
Prosciutto
Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. sugar

Clean and remove the tough ends of the asparagus. In a small sauce pan, stir the balsamic vinegar and sugar together and simmer over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely until syrupy. Sautee the asparagus in a pan over medium heat with a tiny splash of olive oil, salt and pepper, for about 5 minutes. The asparagus should remain crisp and not over done. Remove from the pan and wrap prosciutto around the asparagus (individually or in bundles). Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the asparagus just before serving and freshly grate parmesan cheese on top.

Just For the Halibut

Halibut simply seasoned with s&p and some garlic powder, seared in olive oil, steamed in white wine and finished off with a touch of butter. I served this with asparagus bundles wrapped in prosciutto and roasted in the oven for about 15 minutes at 425.  Dessert demanded something less fancy – homemade chocolate chip cookies!

Fresh Cod & Asparagus

This is maybe the 4th time I’ve ever cooked fish!
I took fresh cod fillets and seasoned them with some lemon olive oil from a local olive orchard, salt & pepper. I simply seared it in a pan.
We also had asparagus and some Harvest Grains from Trader Joes that I cooked with chicken stock. It was all delicious and I was amazed that the children ate all of their fish!
