Holiday Appetizer Ideas
Are you still sorting out your holiday catering? Appetizers need to be quick and easy. We have several recipes that will turn asparagus into a great starter on the big day.
Prosciutto wrapped asparagus is really easy and always a winner. Any of your willing helpers can lay the prociutto out on plates as you are steaming (or grilling) the asparagus then pop a few stalks on top of the laid out prosicutto, add a blob of butter and get the helper to help you roll then up into parcels. Easy Peasy.
We do the same with smoked salmon as well which is also a winner.
Happy Holidays
