Instant Pot® Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus

This quick, impressive side dish is done in a few minutes with the use of an Instant Pot®. I do not recommend bacon, as it is generally sliced much thicker than prosciutto.

Step: 1

Bundle together 3 asparagus spears, or 5 spears if they are slender. Wrap 1 prosciutto slice around each asparagus bundle, catching the beginning edge of the prosciutto around one spear of asparagus.

Step: 2

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Melt butter. Place prosciutto-wrapped asparagus bundles seam-side down into the Instant Pot® and saute until prosciutto is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Turn bundles over and cook until prosciutto is browned, 2 more minutes. Turn bundles over the rest, seam-side down. Pour chicken broth into pot. Select steam pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.

Step: 3

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Serve immediately.

The most obvious way to pick a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. When you’re making pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can make to cooking method . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But often you can made a dish do double-duty .
