Smoked Asparagus image

Love smoked foods? Love asparagus? I experimented while smoking a turkey breast and came up with this mild but flavorful asparagus and garlic dish made originally in an iron skillet on the top of the smoker. If you like asparagus, you will love this! So far, everyone has enjoyed it. I hope you do, too.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, sliced thin
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 ½ pounds asparagus, trimmed

Steps:

  • Place the charcoal into the bottom pan of the smoker. Light the coals and wait for the temperature of the smoker to come to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C).
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan, stir in the garlic and cook over low heat until just tender. Remove from the heat and mix in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
  • Arrange the onions in the bottom of a large cast iron skillet or heat-resistant glass container. Spread asparagus spears over the onions. Drizzle the butter and garlic mixture over the asparagus. Place the uncovered skillet or baking dish on the top grate of the preheated smoker.
  • Close the smoker and cook the asparagus until tender, about 1 hour.

The asparagus was a bit tough, even after cooking it for the recommended time.

I found that the asparagus was a bit too smoky for my taste. I think I'll try using less wood chips next time.
