Russell's Asparagus

Hello everyone,
My son Russell who is 21 years old, is in college studying nutrition and is also a budding chef. For Olivia and David's party which I mentioned last post, Russell made a simple and elegant dish that everyone loved. He washed asparagus and lightly peeled the stems. He then very lightly oiled a baking sheet with olive oil, placed the asparagus in a single layer on the pan and put it in the middle of the oven about 8" from the preheated broiler. He broiled the asparagus for about 5-6 minutes, turning once. Next, Russell took them out and wrapped 3-4 pieces of asparagus with 2 slices of proscuitto. He then drizzled the bundles with a bit of olive oil and placed them back under the broiler for just a couple minutes. He took them out, placed them on a platter with some olives (use Kalamata olives if you can ) and sprinkled them with freshly ground pepper. Yum!!
They were a big hit.
For all you other parents out there, get your kids in the kitchen with you. They love to help out and learning to cook is an important life skill. Have fun...
In good health,
Patty
