For the roasted green asparagus with ham, peel the asparagus – if necessary – and cut off the lower (possibly woody) end. Blanch the spears briefly, wrap each with a sheet of ham and fry on all sides in a mixture of olive oil and butter.
Serve immediately on warmed plates, sprinkle with a little coarse salt and ground pepper and decorate the fried green asparagus with ham with a few thyme leaves.
