BALSAMIC GRILLED ASPARAGUS
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.
- Place the asparagus on the hot grill and cook, flipping as needed, until crisp-tender and charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a platter, garnish with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- In a large shallow baking pan toss asparagus with oil and salt and pepper to taste until coated well. Roast asparagus, shaking pan every 2 minutes, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven and drizzle vinegar over asparagus, shaking pan to combine well.
Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are firm and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
- Trim the asparagus: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
- Blanch the asparagus (optional): Blanching the asparagus before grilling helps to tenderize it and reduce its cooking time. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it is bright green. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Grill the asparagus: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the asparagus spears with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is tender and slightly charred.
- Make the balsamic glaze: While the asparagus is grilling, make the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened and reduced by about half.
- Serve the asparagus: Transfer the grilled asparagus to a serving platter and drizzle with the balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Grilled asparagus with balsamic vinegar is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweetness and acidity. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
