Notes
When buying fresh asparagus, look closely at the stalks. If they appear wrinkled or shriveled - do not purchase. No matter your culinary skill, they’ll be tough & fibrous. Firm, deep green, thick stalks are best.
Prosciutto is an Italian ham & kissing neighbor to the American South’s country ham. It’s usually sliced paper-thin & best located at the deli counter of your local butcher.
