I can't resist anything wrapped in crispy pancetta, and tender asparagus is the perfect partner. A bright vinaigrette of Blood Orange Infused Olive Oil and White Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, plus a pinch of Lime Fresco Infused Sea Salt, ties it all together. Serve these pancetta wrapped asparagus bundles as an appetizer or a side dish that steals the show.

Ingredients

  • 1 Bunch Asparagus
  • 5 Tbsp Blood Orange Infused Olive Oil, divided
  • 1 tsp Lime Fresco Infused Sea Salt, divided
  • ½ lb Very Thinly Sliced Pancetta
  • ¼ cup White Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
  • 2 tsp Mustard
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. Toss the asparagus with 1 Tbsp Blood Orange Infused Olive Oil and ½ tsp Lime Fresco Infused Sea Salt. Bundle 3 spears together and tightly wrap with a slice of pancetta. Arrange the bundles on a baking sheet.

  3. Bake until the asparagus is bright green and the pancetta is slightly crisp, about 10 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, whisk together White Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and mustard. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the remaining 4 Tbsp Blood Orange Infused Olive Oil. Season with the remaining ½ tsp Lime Fresco Infused Sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

  5. Arrange the asparagus on a serving platter. Drizzle with the dressing. Serve immediately.

This is a great way to use asparagus! My husband loved this and said he could make a meal out of this veggie recipe. I used a little bit of both the Sicilian Lemon and Blood Orange (because they are both wonderful!) and this was a simple, tasty, refreshing recipe that I highly recommend trying – your taste buds will thank you! :-)
Thank you, Olivelle, for the great products.
