Asparagus wrapped in Prosciutto

Ingredients:
Asparagus tips/spears
Slices of prosciutto 

Method: 
Trim a small amount from the base of the asparagus spears - ideally make them all the same length
Place in a pan of boiling water, bring back to the boil and then simmer for about 2-4 minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus
Drain and immediately plunge into really cold water to stop the cooking and to keep the vibrant green colour
Place an asparagus spear at one end of a slice of prosciutto and carefully roll up to the other end of the slice
Repeat until all spears are wrapped

Serve 2-4 pieces per person as a starter

If the asparagus spears are quite thin then the slices of prosciutto can be carefully cut in half across the middle and half a slice used per spear so that they are not too thickly wrapped in the meat.
