The trend of wrapping prosciutto around various vegetables (the most common being asparagus) has peaked in my opinion. Do these vegetables look nice? Sure they do, who wouldn’t want to eat a veggie that’s been wrapped in cured salted meat? We shall break free of these trendy norms and instead bring you prosciutto wrapped in […]
