Recipe Introduction
"This asparagus dish will impress even the fanciest dinner party guests."
List of Ingredients
◦ 6 thin slices country ham
◦ 30 to 40 asparagus spears, trimmed
◦ 2 tablespoons olive oil
◦ 12 chives (optional)
Recipe
Cut each slice ham in half lengthwise to make 12 pieces. Wrap each piece of ham tightly around 3 to 4 asparagus spears. Place seam side down on an oiled grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill 6 to 8 minutes, turning frequently.
Remove from grill and, for a little extra flair, secure with a chive ribbon around the ham-wrapped asparagus bundle.

� Tip:
You can also recreate these bundles with green beans, as well as swapping country ham for bacon or prosciutto.
