White Asparagus with Mary Rose Sauce

Total time: 5 minutes
      This is a classic Spanish first course.  They are usually huge, fat asparagus spears with freshly made mayonnaise.  The asparagus is always, canned; never fresh, and rarely green.  It's also wonderful!  I salute the Irish with the Mary Rose sauce...

• 15oz (450gr) white asparagus  or green if you prefer
• 2 slices Prosciutto (1oz, 30gr)   you can substitute any bit of ham or leave it off
