30 Gourmet Sandwiches #12: Open-Faced Prosciutto and Asparagus

Another idea I've never considered, but it sounds pretty normal.


Got a really nice looking artisanal baguette. Or a xenomorph head. You decide. Also prosciutto cotto, asparagus, and some of the usual suspects for garnish.


I'm going to fry the asparagus spears with a small puddle of water and a bit of butter so they kinda half-steam but brown a tiny bit at the end.


This time i found a mixed bag that has a bunch of greens, im just gonna pick out some rocket(arugula leaves) from it, since ive been in the habit of putting massive fistfuls of garnish on my other sandwiches thus far.


Which means we only really need the tiniest bit of olive oil and lemon juice to toss it in, I reckon i can just stab the lemon with a fork and squeeze out a few drips.


Nice looking half a piece of baguette and some mustard. This sandwich list really loves dijon mustard. 


Layered on 3 folded slices of the proscuitto.


And the cooked asparagus fits on nicely too, now we just top with the garnish and eat! Easy peasy lemo- no wait... easy forky lemon porky.


**

Its alright. It's an annoying way to eat asparagus compared to picking it up and dipping it, since everything on this is so fibrous. The flavours go fine together, but I dont really like the flavour of prosciutto that much unless its been crisped up a bit and combined with some stronger flavours. The bread is really nice.
