Grilled asparagus with red bell peppers sauce is a vibrant and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or a light and healthy meal. The asparagus is grilled until tender and slightly charred, and the red bell peppers sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is also incredibly easy to make, and it can be ready in just 30 minutes.
In addition to the grilled asparagus with red bell peppers sauce, this article also includes recipes for two other delicious asparagus dishes:
* **Asparagus with Lemon Butter Sauce:** This classic dish is a simple but elegant way to enjoy asparagus. The lemon butter sauce is light and flavorful, and it perfectly complements the sweetness of the asparagus.
* **Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan Cheese:** This roasted asparagus dish is a great way to add a touch of sophistication to your next meal. The Parmesan cheese adds a rich and nutty flavor to the asparagus, and the roasting process brings out its natural sweetness.
All three of these asparagus recipes are easy to make and packed with flavor. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, garlic, shallot, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the bell pepper is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan; cook until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes; discard the thyme. Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree; season with salt and pepper and add up to 1 more teaspoon vinegar, if needed.
- Preheat a grill to high and generously oil the grates. Rub the fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub the asparagus with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish skin-side down until the skin is marked and crisp, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip and grill until just cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes. Grill the asparagus, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Spoon the pepper sauce onto plates. Top with the fish and asparagus; sprinkle with the parsley.

THE BEST GRILLED ASPARAGUS
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!

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.

ASPARAGUS, SQUASH, AND RED PEPPER SAUTé
An appealing vegetable trio is enlivened by a wine-scented sauté.
Yield 4 to 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Heat the oil and wine in a wide skillet. Add the bell peppers, squash, and asparagus, and sauté over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until all the vegetables are tender-crisp to your liking, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
- Now that the seasons for fresh produce have been stretched by imports, it's not quite as much of a thrill to see the first asparagus of early spring. A pity, since I once considered the arrival of asparagus to the market as much an awaited sign of spring as forsythia and robins. Still, I like to stick with vegetables that are in season by buying locally. Freshly picked, slender asparagus is more agreeable to my eyes and palate than thick, stringy imported winter asparagus.
- Spring asparagus needs to have only about half an inch trimmed off the bottom of the stalks; scraping is unnecessary when the stalks are slender. Asparagus makes a good side dish, simply steamed, with a tiny bit of nonhydrogenated margarine or whipped butter added. Microwave cooking yields good results; place the stalks in a small casserole dish with just enough water to keep them moist. Cover and cook until tender-crisp to your liking. How long this takes depends on the quantity and quality of the asparagus, so test often and serve right away.
- Another great way to prepare slender asparagus is to cut it into 2- to 3-inch lengths and sauté it in olive oil with minced garlic.

Steps:
- Fire up the grill or preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Make butter sauce (or olive oil) by mixing melted butter with red pepper flakes, dried minced onions, and minced garlic.
- Line a cookie sheet with foil.
- Trim asparagus and cut off hard ends.

- Coat vegetables with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
- Dirzzle butter sauce over vegetables. Toss to coat evenly.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until asparagus is just tender, but still crisp.
Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are woody or have yellow or brown spots.
- Trim the asparagus: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
- Blanch the asparagus: Blanching helps to preserve the asparagus's color and flavor. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Marinate the asparagus: Marinating the asparagus in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs will add flavor to the asparagus. You can also add other ingredients to the marinade, such as lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, or honey.
- Grill the asparagus: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the asparagus with olive oil and grill for 5-7 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly charred.
- Make the red bell peppers sauce: While the asparagus is grilling, make the red bell peppers sauce. To make the sauce, simply roast red bell peppers in the oven until they are tender. Then, blend the roasted red bell peppers with olive oil, garlic, and herbs until smooth.
- Serve the asparagus: Serve the grilled asparagus with the red bell peppers sauce. You can also garnish the asparagus with Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped nuts.
Conclusion:
