How to make the Best Roasted BBQ vegetables with Parma Ham Recipe

BBQ Vegetables Recipe: Little cups of vegetable goodness – oh yeah and Parma ham... Now comes some rather nice roasted BBQ vegetables with Parma Ham now. I did this one for Ollie’s birthday BBQ. Served in little cups so you had individual finger food options. Rather nice I think.

“Awesome, but my pee smelt afterwards”

Was one piece of feedback from my mate Steve. I assume that’s a compliment? Clearly, he and asparagus don’t get on. This is so so easy to do. Watch that video first, and then the picture is how you want it to look once you have baked it on the BBQ. Delicious.

How to make the best BBQ Vegetables at home

I part boiled two packs of new potatoes and two packs of edamame (Japanese soybeans). In to two silver roasting trays put half the potatoes and Edamame and then evenly add in the following;

  • 2 packs of asparagus, that I simply cut into 2″ pieces;
  • 2 packs of parma ham, simply ripped into small pieces;
  • 1 chilli padi finely chopped;
  • 2 tablespoons of finely chopped garlic;
  • A good drizzle of olive oil;
  • 1 bunch of roughly chopped coriander;
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into thin slices; and
  • Of course a good pinch of salt & pepper.

Then simply throw the trays on the BBQ until the vegetables are all nicely cooked (not overdone as you want some crunch) and the Parma ham goes all nice and crispy – or pop them in the oven for about 10 minutes. I served these up in these little cups I acquired at Totts – individual portions, rather nicely presented and all that.

So this is a must for any BBQ, for young and old. It’s simple, it’s effective, it looks and tastes bloody good if you ask me. You should give it a go – ENJOY!!!

What is Parma Ham

Parma ham is a world-famous Italian dry-cured ham, known in Italy as Prosciutto di Parma. It is made exclusively in the province of Parma, in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy, and has been produced using traditional methods for centuries.

What makes Parma ham special is its simplicity. It is made using just two ingredients:

  • Pork from specially raised Italian pigs
  • Sea salt

No preservatives, nitrates, artificial flavours, or smoking are used. After salting, the hams are left to mature naturally for at least 12 months, with many premium hams aged for 24 to 36 months. During this time, the mountain air around Parma helps develop its distinctive sweet, delicate flavour.

What does Parma Ham taste like

Parma ham has:

  • A delicate, slightly sweet flavour
  • Rich savoury (umami) notes
  • A buttery texture that melts in your mouth
  • Less saltiness than many other cured hams

Unlike bacon, Parma ham is not cooked or smoked. It is cured and aged, then sliced paper-thin and eaten as it is.

How is Parma Ham served

Some classic pairings include:

  • Fresh melon (Prosciutto e Melone)
  • Figs or pears
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Rocket (arugula)
  • Pizza after baking
  • Pasta dishes
  • Wrapped around asparagus or breadsticks (grissini)
  • On charcuterie boards
