Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

Before I was just ordering this from the restaurant whenever me and my hubby eat out. But now, I cook it whenever I feel like eating  this healthy (asparagus and olive oil) but sinful (bacon) food.

Thank you to Rachael Ray for this recipe. I just added the oyster sauce so its not too dry.

• 1 1/2 pounds asparagus spears (trimmed 4-5 inches long tips)
• Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), for drizzling
• A few grinds black pepper
• 4 slices center-cut bacon or pancetta
• 1/2 cup oyster sauce

Lightly coat asparagus spears in EVOO. Season the asparagus with black pepper. Take a quick count of the spear tips. Divide the total number by four. Gather that number of spears and use a slice of bacon to wrap the bundle and secure the spears together with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

heat the stove top grill, place bundles on hot grill and cover. Cook 10-12 minutes until bacon is crisp and asparagus bundles are tender. drizzle with oyster sauce.

**if oyster sauce is not available, make this as substitute:

Mix 2 tbsp soy sauce with 1 tbsp sugar, pinch of ground pepper, 1 tbsp of corn starch and 1 tbsp water.

Bon Appétit
