Ingredients

Asparagus, raw

600 g, medium or thick

Calorie controlled cooking spray

5 spray(s)

⅛ teaspoon(s)

Parma Ham

Vinegar, All Types

2 teaspoon(s), balsamic

Dried Basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat a chargrill pan or grill and spray with low fat cooking spray. Season the asparagus spears with a little black pepper, then chargrill or grill them until they start to soften, turning them from time to time.
