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.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH LEMON DRESSING



Grilled Asparagus With Lemon Dressing image

Although steamed asparagus has an unmatched purity of taste, I love the earthy, charred flavor added by the grill, a flavor that can also be achieved with stove-top pan grilling, which combines high heat and a dry, heavy skillet.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 to 2 pounds large asparagus
Olive oil as needed, about 2 tablespoons
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Juice of 3 lemons
2 tablespoons minced shallots or scallions
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus; most spears will break an inch or two from the bottom. Peel the stalks up to the flower bud. Meanwhile, start a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill; if you're cooking indoors, heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it smokes.
  • To grill the asparagus spears, toss them with about a tablespoon of oil, mixing with your hands until spears are coated. Season well with salt and pepper. Grill until tender and browned in spots, turning once or twice, in all 5 to 10 minutes.
  • To pan grill the asparagus, do not oil or season them. Just toss them in the hot skillet, and cook, turning the spears individually as they brown, until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove as they finish, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix together the lemon juice and shallots, then stir in enough olive oil to add a little body and take the edge off the sharpness of the lemon; the mixture should still be strong. Season it well with salt and plenty of black pepper, and stir in the parsley. Serve the asparagus hot or at room temperature with grilled fish. Spoon the sauce over everything.

QUICK BAKED TILAPIA WITH GRAPEFRUIT DILL BUTTER



Quick Baked Tilapia With Grapefruit Dill Butter image

This literally takes minutes in the oven. Tilapia (an inexpensive fish, but you can add some great flavor to it), fresh grapefruit and dill make this dish absolutely wonderful. Serve this with some oven fries or fingerling potatoes and some fresh oven roasted zucchini planks, just with olive oil and fresh herbs is perfect. A light fresh dinner. For those who love the light tart taste of grapefruit this is for you. I prefer a nice ruby red grapefruit for this, but a white grapefruit will work fine, it will just be a bit more tart.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Tilapia

Time 25m

Yield 4 Fillets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tilapia fillets
3 tablespoons fresh ruby red grapefruit juice (I just buy a small grapefruit ... eat one half for breakfast and squeeze the other, a white grapefru)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 grapefruits, slices (add them to the oven as you bake the fish, a slice on each fillet adds a nice presentation)

Steps:

  • Butter -- mix the grapefruit juice, butter, dill, salt and pepper.
  • After a recent review, I realized that I use ruby red grapefruits for everything, but it reminded me that not everyone has ruby reds. And for me, I love grapefruit but for those who don't, the option of adding a teaspoon of honey to the juice, butter and dill will give a bit of sweetness to the dish. I did that once for some friends who were a bit more "less" of a grapefruit fan.
  • Fish -- Spray a parchment lined or foil lined pan with pam. Then add your fish fillets and brush well with the grapefruit butter. Cook on the middle rack 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes. I baste with the butter 2 times during the baking process.
  • That's it. Easy simple and big flavor. You can serve a little dollop on top right at the end of cooking if you want along with the baked grapefruit slice.

Tips:

  • For a smoky flavor, you can grill the asparagus and carrots over charcoal or wood chips.
  • To make the grapefruit dill sauce, you can use fresh or frozen grapefruit juice. If using frozen grapefruit juice, thaw it completely before using.
  • You can adjust the amount of honey in the sauce to taste. For a sweeter sauce, add more honey. For a tangier sauce, add less honey.
  • The grapefruit dill sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the grilled asparagus and carrots immediately with the grapefruit dill sauce.
