Schaller & Weber's natural shape Black Forest Ham is made with the recipe Ferdinand Schaller used when he introduced the style to America, but the uncommon shape also has a delicious impact on the finished product. With more surface area on this ham, there is more exposure to smoke during the smoking process, giving the ham a darker color. The smaller size also allows the smoked flavor to penetrate deeper into the meat so the flavors become much more intense.
First take off the tough end of the asparagus. Then lay out the thin sliced Westphalian ham or prosciutto and put the end
on the ham.
Roll the ham at an angle...
..so it goes all the way up. the stalk to the tip.
Place on a cookie sheet and brush with olive oil. Bake for 15 min at 400 degrees F till tender but still crisp.
This is a great appetizer. Here we served them with cold sliced meats and rye bread for a light meal.
The spears keep there shape well when only cooked to the crisp tender state.
You can also make this a main dish.
