Ingredients
    1/2 cup lemon juice
    1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
    1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    2 1/4 lbs baby calamari, cleaned and thinly sliced
    8 oz small button mushrooms, sliced
    16 None asparagus spears
    16 None thin slices prosciutto
    5 oz thinly sliced salami
    7 oz baby mozzarella balls
    1/2 cup mixed olives

Preparation
    Mix lemon juice, oil, parsley and garlic in a medium bowl. Season.
    Drop the calamari into a medium saucepan of boiling water. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10 mins or until the calamari is tender, then drain. Toss the calamari with 1/2 the olive oil mixture in a glass bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
    Toss the mushrooms and remaining olive oil mixture in a glass bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
    Wrap the asparagus spears with slices of prosciutto. Cook in a preheated, oiled griddle pan until browned lightly and tender.
