Ingredients
- 5 green asparagus.
- 5 slices of tender Serrano Ham.
- Water.
- 1 teaspoon Salt.
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil.
- Mayonnaise (regular mayonnaise, saffron mayonnaise or cumin mayonnaise).
- Trim the woody ends from the asparagus by bending each stalk near the bottom and discarding the bit where it naturally breaks.
- Wash the asparagus and peel any thick, woody stems.
- Heat water with salt into a pan until boiling.
- Blanch the asparagus spears in the boiling water for 10 seconds. The remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and transfer to a tray.
- It’ll give the asparagus a bright green color.
- Wrap a slice of ham around each asparagus, leaving the tip of the asparagus visible.
- Heat a pan with the olive oil.
- Add the asparagus and saute it during 2-3 minutes.

- It’s recommended to use tender ham (not very cured) as it’ll be easier to wrap the asparagus in.
- They can also be made on a bbq instead of the pan.
