Appetizer Exploration ::: Honey Ham Baby Asparagus Roll-Ups

Me being just a sous chef in charge fully on appetizer and a kitchen hand to chef Tim ("dear") on Mother's Day Dinner. I'm here to share my 1st appetizer recipe!


Ingredients:::
200g of Baby Asparagus
200g of Honey Ham
125g Butter
Salt and Black Ground Pepper to taste
Chives for garnishing & to knot up the Roll-Ups
Filtered Water.

Preparation of Baby Asparagus
1. Wash, soak, and cut baby Asparagus in half.
2. Bring water to boil with 3 pinch of salt, place in asparagus in to boil till it’s tender rescue it and place it in a plate.
3. Heat a non-stick pan and melt butter, slowly pour in the asparagus and stir it around for about 1 minute then add in salt and black ground pepper to taste.
4. Dish it up and now we can start rolling it up~

Assembling the Honey Ham Roll Ups
1. Cut Honey Ham into 4 slices (2”x3”)
2. Take one slice and place 2-3 sticks of baby asparagus at the side and roll it up.
3. Use a chive to knot up the Honey Ham Baby Asparagus Roll-Ups so they will stay together and will not be fallen apart when consuming.
4. Repeat steps 1-3. And stack them up in a pyramid formation for a nice presentation.

The type of ham used can be changed to your preference.
