Asparagus Prosciutto Boats

Well, we are back from another wedding weekend and are once again exhausted and in search for an easy and healthy dinner. The wedding was beautiful with an absolutely gorgeous bride! Although busy weekends take a lot of of us, they are SO worth it! 

Mr. and Mrs. Tyson! 


Great old friends! 

Side note for you dog lovers, Pace, our first born four legged child, was at the vet for the weekend after she ate some type of metal. We have NO idea where it was or what she ate, but it created little cuts throughout her intestines. I noticed she didn't want to eat, which is NOT normal, and she was whining constantly.  I am SO glad I listened to my intuition as it was a pretty serious situation. She was very lucky as this could have turned out very differently. Thankfully, she is recovering now at home! The lesson learned is to watch your dogs closely and trust your inner self when you feel something is wrong! 


Okay, lets get back to supper. I was craving asparagus and my mind quickly went to my prosciutto boats because they are so delicious and simple. These are great for a cookout!!


Asparagus Prosciutto Boats
naturally GF/DF


Ingredients:

about 1 pound fresh asparagus
1 1/2 T balsamic vinegar
1/2 t garlic powder
1 1/2 T lemon juice
1 1/2 t extra virgin olive oil
2 pinches of salt
dash of pepper 
toothpicks
1 package prosciutto (Boar's Head is GF)


What to do:

Heat your grill to about 400°.

First step is to trim the ends off of the asparagus. 

Add asparagus to a gallon sized Ziplock bag.

Add in the rest of the ingredients except for the prosciutto. 

Seal the bag and mix so that the asparagus are nicely seasoned.

Time to make the boats. Grab a toothpick and 2 asparagus. Line up the asparagus and poke the toothpick through the bottom. Hubs helped me out with this step.

Add two or three more asparagus for a total of 4-5 asparagus per boat.

Repeat the process at the top so there are two toothpicks per boat.


Repeat the process with the remaining asparagus.

Lay out a piece of prosciutto on a paper towel.

Lay the asparagus boat on top of the prosciutto.

Fold one side of the prosciutto over the asparagus and then the other side. 



Repeat the process for the rest of the boats. 


Grill for about 10 minutes, flipping once.





Thanks Y'all!
