Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

I cannot even begin to tell you how good these are.   Mr. MCYM was eating them straight from the grill not even waiting for the balsamic dressing to go on!  Robby does not even like asparagus but today that all changed.  We had to wrestle Robby for the last of the asparagus!  I promise it is just that good!

INGREDIENTS
1 bunch of asparagus with the bottoms trimmed
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
1 cup Parmesan cheese
12 slices of Prosciutto, gently sliced in half
1 cup balsamic vinegar

DIRECTIONS
Add olive oil, garlic and lemon juice into a large Ziploc bag and mix. Add asparagus and let marinate for an hour or longer. To reduce the balsamic vinegar,  place the vinegar in a small sauce pan over medium heat and reduce by half. This took me about ten minutes.

Just before grilling, take the asparagus out, place the Parmesan cheese into a pie plate. One by one roll the asparagus into the cheese and wrap each asparagus stalk with a half of a piece of prosciutto, leaving the top of the asparagus poking out. When they are all complete place these on the grill with the seam side down and grill for about five minutes turning and watching to be sure not to burn the prosciutto, but still getting it slightly crispy! When they are off the grill drizzle them with the reduced balsamic dressing.

Enjoy,
