Tips & tricks

Do not bake the asparagus too long. It should still have a little bite, otherwise the dish loses both freshness and contrast against the crisp ham.

Did you know?

Asparagus with cured ham works well because the salty ham becomes crisp around the fresh green asparagus. Short baking preserves some bite in the asparagus, while balsamic adds sweetness and acidity. This makes the dish simple, elegant and good as a small bite or side dish.
