Ingredients
* 1 lb medium asparagus 1/2 inch thick 12 to 15
* 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
* 12 slices pancetta 1/4 lb
Instructions
Equipment: 4 (12-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes
Prepare a grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas).
Trim asparagus to 6 inches long, then toss with oil and ? tsp pepper in a small dish. Wrap middle of each asparagus with 1 slice of pancetta. Thread 3 or 4 wrapped asparagus 1/2 inch apart onto each skewer.
Oil grill rack, then grill asparagus, uncovered, turning, until pancetta is golden brown in spots and asparagus is crisp-tender, about 6 minutes.
Cooks' notes: If you aren't able to grill outdoors, asparagus can be broiled about 3 inches from heat, turning, about 5 minutes.
Asparagus can be wrapped in pancetta 1 day ahead and chilled.Active time: 25 min Start to finish: 30 min
