Asparagus and Ham Spears
1 1/4 pounds medium asparagus, tough ends trimmed
1/4 pound thinly sliced ham
1 T. plus 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
Freshly ground black pepper
Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook just until crisp-tender, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediatley run asparagus under very cold water for 1 minute to stop cooking. Drain again and pat dry.
Cut ham slices lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Wrap ham strips around asparagus spears, beginning right below the tips. Place spears on a serving platter and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with zest, season with several pinches of pepper, and serve.
Makes 10 servings
