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.
1–2 packs of pastrami
1 large bundle of asparagus (see note)
freshly cracked black pepper
6 cloves garlic, minced or 6 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
your favorite brand of BBQ sauce (try Rorie’s low-carb, low-sugar BBQ sauce)
maple syrup
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Separate the asparagus into 3 or 4 spears per bundle.
Placed on a baking sheet and drizzle olive oil and season to taste with salt, freshly cracked pepper and lots of freshly minced garlic.
On a separate plate brush both sides of the pastrami strips with BBQ sauce and maple syrup.
Wrap one or two strips of pastrami around each asparagus bundle, securing with a toothpick.
Bake the bundles for 10–12 minutes. Allow to cool a little, then remove toothpicks.

Green Beans instead? Can I use fresh green beans instead of asparagus?
That’s a great idea.
