Tender Crisp Balsamic Sesame Asparagus image

I love asparagus and have gotten picky kids to eat asparagus cooked this way. Takes less than 10 minutes start to finish and the result is a decadant and flavorful bright green veggie. Yum. I'd eat this every night for dinner if DH would go for it.

Time 10m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb asparagus (1 bundle)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper (to taste)
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive and sesame oils together in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, cut tough ends off the asparagus and wash. Let dry for a few seconds on a paper towel.
  • Place asparagus spears in hot oil all spread out so they are not on top of each other. Roll spears around to coat with oil, then add balsamic vinegar and roll again.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over spears and cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, rolling spears around in pan once or twice for even cooking.
  • Add water and turn down heat to medium low. Cover and let steam until tender crisp. Do not overcook. Spears should be a bright green color. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if you desire. Serve immediately.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. I probably wouldn't make it again.

The asparagus was a bit overcooked for my liking. I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of balsamic vinegar next time.

I'm allergic to sesame seeds, so I substituted sunflower seeds instead. It was still delicious!

This is a great side dish for any meal, but it's also delicious as a main course with a side of rice or quinoa.

I've made this dish with both green and white asparagus, and it's delicious either way.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The balsamic vinegar adds a touch of sweetness, while the sesame seeds add a nutty flavor.

The asparagus was cooked perfectly - tender-crisp, just the way I like it.
