Logan has done it again! His creativity just turns on the right side of my brain (miniscule as it is) and gets me to want to create dishes. Mom had seen a recipe in a Simple magazine for asparagus and prosuitto with just salt, pepper and a touch of oil. Well, I could not do something that simple, so when I came home from Starbuck's today I whipped up a reduction of 2TBS of molasses, 2TBS of soy sauce, and one TBS of balsalmic vinegar. Then I crisped some prosuitto in the oven at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes. While I was doing this, I steamed some fresh green beans (about 2 large handfuls.) I then soaked the partially cooked beans in iced water for about 15 minutes. I then crumbled the prosuitto, mixed it with about a tsp of diced scallion and a tsp of diced garlic. After tossing all the vegetable ingredients well, I added the reduction sauce and refrigerated the entire business for about an hour, which so happened to be just the appropriate time for a libation!
I then served the cold beans (modestly crunchy) with a grilled piece of halibut. Like I said before, when Mrs. A gives it a two thumbs up, that means something. It's another good hot evening meal. Maybe this will be the best Summer, yet!!l
