Recipe: Ham and Asparagus Roll-ups

Posted on

These are to inspire you. They’re easy to assemble and taste good.

  • very tasty ham slices
  • asparagus stalks – at least one per slice of ham.
  • good French mustard

Boil the asparagus until it’s just barely tender. I usually cook them in a frying pan in a single layer, just covered with water. Stare at them so you don’t over cook them. They are Done when bright green. Test them by piercing the stalks with a fork.

Saute the ham in a skillet to take the chill off the meat and bring up the flavour.

Spread some mustard on each slice. Put one or two asparagus stalks on the slice and roll.
