A perfect party or Shabbat appetizer: it can be served hot or room temperature and takes two minutes to make! If you’re in it for the meat, add lots more to really have a taste of both in each bite! You can also substitute for kosher bacon.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

Directions

Prepare the Bundles

1.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2.

Separate the asparagus into 3 or 4 spears per bundle.

3.

Placed on a baking sheet and drizzle olive oil and season to taste with salt, freshly cracked pepper and lots of freshly minced garlic.

4.

On a separate plate brush both sides of the pastrami strips with BBQ sauce and maple syrup.

5.

Wrap one or two strips of pastrami around each asparagus bundle, securing with a toothpick.

6.

Bake the bundles for 10–12 minutes. Allow to cool a little, then remove toothpicks.

Notes:

To clean green asparagus from insects, the tips as well as the triangular side leaves should be cut off and discarded. Alternatively, use frozen, thawed asparagus with a reliable hechsher.

Green Beans instead? Can I use fresh green beans instead of asparagus?
