Grilled Pork Medallions with Asparagus Wrapped Prosciutto

June 28, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 21 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Wondering how to get a man to eat his vegetables?  That’s easy, wrap it in meat!  Yes that is what I have to do!  My Husband is totally against asparagus!  I always get ewww, asparagus!  It’s like his arch-enemy or something?  But when he saw it in front of him, he looked and tried to say no, but couldn’t resist the crispy prosciutto that was calling his name.  Next thing you knew he had them on his plate!  ha ha!!

This was the first time I grilled asparagus and I was pleased of the outcome.  The  prosciutto was very much like bacon.  One thing about my Husband is he LOVES bacon.  He goes to Whole Foods and buys a pound of it already cooked and sits in the car with a piece of french bread and goes to town on the bacon.  Whole Foods got wind of this and now they no longer have bacon at the breakfast bar.  Matter in fact I was at the breakfast bar and a worker there asked me are you the one who always takes the bacon.  I was so embarrassed and played dumb!   I said no of course.  This is a true story!  I used to go on Saturday’s and buy a pound or so and take it to my Husband at work.  Not healthy, but it made him happy, plus it made him popular with the other Guys at work. They were jealous!  What we don’t do for our men!


After dinner we did manage to have some asparagus left over and I asked my Husband if he wanted it?  He looked at me, and asked me to cut off the ends just so he could have the grilled prosciutto part!  I just shook my head and said of course Dear!  I accompanied the asparagus with Grilled Pork Medallions.  I have to tell you, the pork tasted better the next day!  It was so tender, that I decided to make a sandwich with it.  I am not normally one for left overs, but this pork was just so good!!!

I used a Pork tenderloin and cut it into medallions and placed it in a bowl with some olive oil and spices.  This was so quick and easy, not to mention tender and delicious.  I love using Pork Tenderloin over pork chops because of the tenderness of the meat.  Sometimes pork chops just seem too dry.  I think that’s why people have applesauce with it, to give it some juice!  Now don’t get me wrong I love pork chops, but tenderloin is my favorite, plus it’s pretty healthy for you.

This whole meal took me under 30 minutes to make, which makes it a perfect meal to have for the weeknight.  I had a side of my Wild Rice with Caramelized Onions and Cherries, but a good french bread would be perfect with this meal, and yes applesauce will work too!   🙂

I hope you don’t mind I put these recipes together on my Ziplist.  I found if I separated them, I corrupt the Internet world somewhere.  I am not a technical person, but all I know is I am supposed to only post one recipe at a time, but this is my blog and I wanted to share two!

Time for me to scadoodle!   I have to make myself dinner, after all Hubby went to Subway, so that means I can get crazy and create whatever I want for din din!

Have a lovely Thursday!

Toodles,

Jen

    I guess threatening with “if you dont eat your veggies, you wont get any dessert” wont work? 🙂

    I’ve found that with reluctant veggie-eaters works either disguise or adding meat. Your asparagus looks very lovely, I think any man I know would demolish them in no time. Asparagus with prosciutto is such a yummy treat! Prosciutto itself can work wonders in a pasta salad. I once had my friend to finish a big bowl of pasta salad just by adding prosciutto there, and he is a devoted meat-eater. Surprised me totally 😀

    Disguising works sometimes, just wrap it in something unhealthy looking and they dont even know it’s not meat. Like beetroot steaks (cooked whole, sliced and then covered with breadcrumbs and fried), people dont even notice there’s no meat involved 😉

      Oddly enough my Husband would rather have his meat then a dessert so the old phrase doesn’t work with him. Ohhh I never thought of prosciutto in a pasta salad. That would be amazing. I never had beetroot, hmmm, I’ll have to look for that next time I’m at the store.

    That pork tenderloin looks sooo good. I totally agree about pork chops vs. tenderloin, especially if you are going to grill it. Although nothing beats a stuffed baked pork chop!

    I tend to hide my vegetables in food in order to get the boyfriend to eat them! Or disguise them as something else! This looks fabulous, I’m loving the simple pork medallions.

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of Ju Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of July weekend already! I’m not sure what our plans are, but I’m sure cooking on the bbq will be happening. It should be a nice weekend. 
🇺🇸
I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it. 
🇺🇸
Do you have any plans for this holiday weekend?

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.

Do you get butterflies in your garden?

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
