2) $2.50/lb Aldi very small diameter asparagus, rinsed, patted dry, and the lower 1/3 of the stalks cut off and discarded. Then drizzled with olive oil and separated into six parts. Each of the six groups then wrapped in a 22 cent 1/2 oz slice of Aldi prosciutto, and broasted in a home oven.
This is about what it looked like going into the oven, except with the smaller stalks there were 6-8 in each wrap, and my wraps were tapered up and down so that the asparagus was more covered in meat. Both this and the eggplant were great. Usually I do the eggplant on the grill, but since we were at my daughters, I tried the oven, starting it on low broil, then finishing it on bake at 375F.
See what you get into when your home Aldi is closed fro remodeling and you stop along the way in your travels when you find an Aldi and they have good deals on some prime ingredients!
