Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds jumbo asparagus
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces pea shoots, for garnish (optional)
Caramelized Shallot Vinaigrette

Steps:

  • Heat grill or a grill pan until medium hot. Snap off and discard the tough ends of the asparagus. Place asparagus in a bowl. Drizzle oil over asparagus; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning every few minutes, until tender, about 12 minutes. Garnish with pea shoots, if desired; serve with vinaigrette.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use shallots that are firm and have no signs of sprouting or bruising.
  • To caramelize the shallots properly, cook them over medium-low heat until they are soft and golden brown, stirring frequently.
  • If you don't have white wine vinegar, you can use another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • To make a vegan version of this vinaigrette, use agave nectar or maple syrup instead of honey.
  • This vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

This caramelized shallot vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, grilled vegetables, and roasted meats. It is also a great way to use up leftover shallots. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this vinaigrette is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
