THE BEST GRILLED ASPARAGUS



The Best Grilled Asparagus image

We found that the best way to grill asparagus is to lay it right on the grill grates at an angle--no foil packet or grilling basket necessary. We jazzed ours up with tangy, creamy feta and fresh mint. To get a good char, be sure to use medium-sized asparagus -- no pencil-thin stalks here!

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch medium asparagus (about 3/4 pound)
Juice of 1 lemon (about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (about 1 ounce)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat. Chop the tough, woody ends off the asparagus (about 1 inch) and peel another inch of the stalks.
  • Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add the asparagus and toss until well coated.
  • Put the asparagus on the grill at an angle so the stalks don't fall through the grates. Grill, flipping halfway through cooking, until the asparagus begin to char, the pointy ends start to crisp and the stalks are just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and sprinkle with the feta and mint.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST GRILLED ASPARAGUS



How to Make THE BEST Grilled Asparagus image

Tender and sweet, grilled asparagus is the perfect healthy 15-minute side dish for any meal. Use thicker asparagus spears for easy grilling.

Provided by Heidi

Categories     Side Dish

Time 9m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound asparagus (, (choose thick spears))
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
lemon wedges (, if desired)

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to medium heat, about 350° to 400°F, and brush the grill grates clean.
  • Remove the woody ends of the asparagus by snapping the ends off. Bend each stalk gently about 2/3 of the way down the stalk until it naturally breaks where the woody part begins. If desired, use a knife to trim the ends of the stalks to tidy up the cuts. Discard the ends.
  • Place the asparagus spears in a shallow bowl or on a platter or baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss the spears with your hands to coat. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss again.
  • Place the asparagus across the grill grates perpendicular to the bars. Grill with the lid closed for 6 to 10 minutes or until the spears are tender and crisp. Use tongs to roll the spears for even grill marks.
  • Transfer to a platter and if desired, drizzle with more olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Can be served warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH TOMATOES AND GORGONZOLA



Roasted Asparagus with Tomatoes and Gorgonzola image

This recipe came from a friend who described this dish to me after eating it in a restaurant in Key West. From the description I evolved this recipe, and it works. My friend said it tasted identical to the restaurant version.

Provided by marjorie koslow

Categories     Vegetables

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lb asparagus, fresh
1/2-3/4 pt grape or cherry tomatoes
1/2 c crumbled gargonzola cheese
3-4 Tbsp olive oil, light, enough to cover all asparagus
salt and pepper, mortons seasoning,to taste, sprinkled on all asparagus.
NOTE* ADJUST AMOUNTS TO THE # YOU ARE SERVING, USUALLY 4-5 STALKS OF ASPARAGUS PER PERSON,

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to Broil (500 degrees).
  • 2. Clean asparagus, removing woody bottom portion. Spread flat on a jelly roll baking sheet. Shake olive oil evenly on all the asparagus. Season to taste with S&P and seasoning. (I use Morton's)
  • 3. Have tomatoes halved, place on same baking sheet, in separate area of pan, as asparagus. Season them with the olive oil and seasonings as well.
  • 4. Place under broiler for 3 minutes, turn asparagus, broil another 2-3 minutes till tender crisp. Remove from oven, place asparagus, topped with tomatoes on oven proof serving dish. Sprinkle heavily with the Gorgonzola cheese. Place under broiler just until cheese melts...Serve immediately.
  • 5. Often I cook the asparagus and tomatoes halfway, then continue the cooking process at the last minute, so it gets to the table warm, gooey and delicious. ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are firm and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Trim the asparagus. Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by bending the spear until it snaps naturally. Alternatively, you can use a sharp knife to cut off the bottom 1-2 inches of the spear.
  • Blanch the asparagus. Blanching the asparagus will help to tenderize it and bring out its natural flavor. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and place it in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the gorgonzola butter. The gorgonzola butter is what really makes this dish special. To make the butter, simply combine softened butter, crumbled gorgonzola cheese, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Grill the asparagus. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the asparagus spears with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus for 5-7 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the asparagus. Serve the grilled asparagus immediately with the gorgonzola butter. You can also garnish the asparagus with additional chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Grilled asparagus with gorgonzola butter is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the gorgonzola butter adds a rich and creamy flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is also a healthy and nutritious way to enjoy asparagus.
