Scottish Asparagus and Bacon Parcels by Scotty Brand
Scotland’s rich, healthy soil and colder temperatures keep pests and diseases at bay, while our famously high rainfall offers natural irrigation — making Scotland a prime place for growing. We make the most of these natural assets to farm the finest produce, delivered fresh to you. All of our products are produced and packed in Scotland with the utmost care.
Tender seasonal asparagus is perfectly complemented by salty Scottish bacon. Ideal as a starter or light meal!

Ingredients: Serves 4
1 bunch of Scotty Brand
Asparagus
4 rashers of Scotty Brand Unsmoked Bacon, cut in half lengthways
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
4 stalks of rosemary
Salt & pepper, to season
Method
1 Preheat grill to 180oC.
2 Lie the asparagus out flat, drizzle with oil, lemon juice, and season lightly.
3 Separate the asparagus into four even sized piles and gather together with a stalk of rosemary.
4 Wrap each set of asparagus and rosemary around the middle with two long slices of bacon, taking care not to tear the bacon and ensuring it overlaps to secure the spears in place.
5 Repeat with the remaining ingredients to create four asparagus parcels.
6 To grill, place the parcels under the pre-heated grill and cook for 10 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and the asparagus is tender and fragrant. Keep an eye on the asparagus ends and cover with foil if they brown too quickly.
7 Serve immediately, with an extra squeeze of lemon juice if wished.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
