Ingredients
- 4 ½ ounce asparagus, raw
- 4 slice – 6" long bacon
Instructions
- Fill a pan with water and heat it to boiling over high heat. You may salt the water at your discretion. Meanwhile, cut approx. 8 asparagus to about 8 inches long. You may either leave the tops on or remove them. Place the asparagus in the boiling water and cook for just 3 minutes.
- After 3 minutes, drain the water from the asparagus and rinse them quickly with very cold water until they are no longer hot. Pat the asparagus dry. Additionally, slice 4 full length pieces of bacon in half long-ways, so you have 8 long strips of bacon.
- One by one, wrap a strip of bacon around each asparagus, leaving a little space between each section of bacon.
- Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat. Place 4 asparagus in the hot pan, seams of the bacon down. Cook the asparagus for about 4 minutes, then gently rotate them over the cook the bacon on the other side without unraveling it.
- Repeat the cooking process with your remaining asparagus. Enjoy hot!
