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.

      Pork Medallions are a favorite in our house. You can saute it, grill it or bake it and it always turns out great!!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.

Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
