Asparagus starter topped with crispy prosciutto drizzled in tangy vinegar.
Ingredients:
  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 1 x 250g punnet cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 2 anchovy fillets, drained on paper towel, finely chopped
  • 20.00 ml white wine vinegar
  • Pinch of caster sugar
  • 3 bunches asparagus, woody ends trimmed
  • Olive oil, to grease
  • 55g (1/3 cup) toasted pine nuts
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper, then arrange the prosciutto on it. Bake for 5 minutes until it turns crisp. Let it cool for 5 minutes and then break it into large pieces.
  • Combine the tomato, anchovy, oil, vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
