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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter a 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish (3-quart).
- Trim asparagus and diagonally cut into 1/4-inch-wide slices. Cut bell peppers into 1/4-inch-wide strips and mince shallots. Halve zucchini lengthwise and diagonally cut both zucchini and scallions into thin slices.
- Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water blanch asparagus 1 minute and drain in a colander. Immediately transfer asparagus to ice water to stop cooking. Drain asparagus well in colander and pat dry.
- In a large skillet cook bell peppers and shallots in butter over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until peppers are softened, about 10 minutes. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, cream, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir in asparagus, bell pepper mixture, zucchini, and scallions. Pour custard into baking dish and bake in middle of oven until golden and set, about 35 minutes. Cool frittata on a rack. Frittata may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring frittata to room temperature before serving. If desired, loosen frittata from edges of pan and slide onto a platter.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted or have woody ends.
- Trim the asparagus spears. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can also use a sharp knife to cut off the ends.
- Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. Be careful not to overcook the asparagus, as it will become mushy.
- Make the red and yellow pepper coulis ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld. You can store the coulis in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve the asparagus with the red and yellow pepper coulis. You can also top the asparagus with grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled goat cheese.
Conclusion:
Asparagus with Red and Yellow Pepper Coulis is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the red and yellow pepper coulis adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
