Asparagus Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and wash them thoroughly. Pat them dry.

  2. 2

    Wrap with Jamon Serrano

    Take a slice of Jamon Serrano and wrap it around each asparagus spear tightly, ensuring the ham adheres well.

Romesco Sauce

  1. 3

    Blend the Romesco Sauce

    In a blender, combine roasted red peppers, toasted almonds, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Fried Egg

  1. 4

    Fry the Eggs

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Season with salt to taste.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the Jamon Serrano wrapped asparagus. Drizzle with romesco sauce. Top with a fried egg. Grate queso manchego over the dish and garnish with fresh parsley.
