Roasted Parma Ham-Wrapped Asparagus with Burrata & Salsa Verde

Hi, it’s Scott here with this week’s recipe – and today we’re celebrating asparagus season with a simple but indulgent dish that brings together some truly delicious flavours.

We're making Roasted Parma Ham-Wrapped Asparagus served with creamy Burrata and a punchy Salsa Verde. If you’ve never had burrata before, you’re in for a treat – imagine a ball of mozzarella filled with something like clotted cream. It’s rich, decadent, and downright divine.

Let’s head to the kitchen and see how it’s made!

As always, you’ll find this recipe and plenty more over at theveggrowerpodcast.co.uk and on my Instagram page Seed to Table Plot 13.

Ingredients (Serves 2–4)

For the asparagus:

  • 12 asparagus spears
  • 12 slices of Parma ham
  • 2 burrata cheeses

For the salsa verde:

  • 50g finely diced white onion
  • 30g chopped fresh parsley
  • 10g chopped fresh tarragon
  • 10g chopped fresh mint
  • 40g chopped capers
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 230ml olive oil

Method

  1. Wrap the asparagus: Take each asparagus spear and wrap it in a slice of Parma ham. Set aside while you prepare the salsa verde.
  2. Make the salsa verde: Add all the salsa ingredients to a food processor or blitz with a stick blender until you reach a loose, pesto-like consistency. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Roast the asparagus: Place the wrapped asparagus on a baking tray and roast in a preheated oven at 200°C for 10 to 15 minutes, until the ham is crisp and the asparagus is tender.
  4. Plate up: Arrange the roasted asparagus on a serving plate, tear over the burrata, and generously spoon over the salsa verde.

And that’s it – a quick and luxurious seasonal dish that makes the most of your homegrown herbs and fresh asparagus. Perfect as a starter or a light lunch with some crusty bread.

That’s all from me this week – enjoy, and let me know if you give it a go!

Scott’s Moroccan Meatball And Aubergine Bake

Good evening, it's Scott here with this week's recipe! Lately, I've been harvesting a bumper crop of aubergines, including a variety called 'White Knight' that’s been particularly prolific. With such a bountiful harvest, I’ve been trying out all sorts of dishes, but my favourite by far this year is the one I’m sharing with you today: a Moroccan Meatball and Aubergine Bake. This dish features succulent lamb meatballs and tender aubergine baked in a rustic tomato sauce, all topped with crumbled feta and vibrant pomegranate seeds. It’s a fantastic way to use up any homegrown tomatoes you might have. If you follow a plant-based diet, you can easily swap the lamb meatballs for plant-based alternatives or even use smoked tofu, which works beautifully in this recipe. So, let’s not delay—let’s head to the kitchen and get cooking! As always, you can find this recipe, along with many others, on the veggrowerpodcast.co.uk and on my Instagram, @seedtotableplot13.
