Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 -2 lb asparagus
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut off about 2 inches off on the big ends, place them in a casserole dish drizzle them with the oil then add the rest and move the mixture all over the asparagus- Make sure they are thoroughly coated.
  • Place on already pre-heated grill- preferably medium heat. They only cook for 5-6 min on each side (Only need to role them once while grillng).
  • And serve immediately, so cook them last or while you cook your steaks. ( to me they are great even if they get cold).

BALSAMIC GRILLED ASPARAGUS



Balsamic Grilled Asparagus image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 8h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 medium shallots, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, lightly smashed
2 sprigs fresh oregano
2 bunches medium asparagus (about 2 pounds), woody ends trimmed and discarded
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Stir together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shallots, garlic and oregano in a medium bowl. Pour the marinade into a 1-gallon resealable plastic storage bag, add the asparagus and seal the bag closed. Place the bag in a bowl or on a plate (just in case it leaks) and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours, flipping a couple of times.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. While the grill heats up, remove the asparagus from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Season liberally on all sides with salt and pepper.

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!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

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



Grilled Asparagus image

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are adapted from Elizabeth Karmel's Web site, girlsatthegrill.com . Grilling asparagus miraculously transforms it from the kind of vegetable you hated as a kid to a sweet, meaty, lip-smackin' treat that you can't get enough of as an adult. Contrary to popular belief, look for the fatter stalks when buying asparagus-they are much better suited to grilling and actually have better flavor. This is the least amount of work you will ever have to do to be considered the Queen or King of the Grill.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound fresh asparagus
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt (use salt according to taste)

Steps:

  • Trim off the tough bottom of the spear by grasping each end and bending it gently until it snaps at its natural point of tenderness-usually two-thirds of the way down the spear. If the spear is less than 6 inches long, chances are it has already been trimmed for you. Alternatively, you can cut the ends off with a knife.
  • Coat each spear with olive oil by placing clean, dry spears in a resealable plastic bag, pour in the oil, and massage spears to coat each one. Sprinkle with salt and massage again. Leave the asparagus in the bag until ready to cook.
  • Place on the cooking grate crosswise so it won't fall through. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes (depending on the size and thickness of the stalks), turning occasionally to expose all sides to the heat. Asparagus should begin to brown in spots (indicating that its natural sugars are caramelizing) but should not be allowed to char.
  • Remove from grill and serve immediately-eating spears with your fingers enhances the experience.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm asparagus spears with tight tips. Avoid any spears that are woody or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears. To do this, simply snap off the bottom inch or two of each spear where it naturally breaks.
  • Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Grill the asparagus spears over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Be sure to turn the spears occasionally so that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the grilled asparagus spears immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own, or with a dipping sauce, such as hollandaise sauce or lemon-butter sauce.
