GRILLED ASPARAGUS AND MELON SALAD



Grilled Asparagus and Melon Salad image

This salad is a new twist on the classic combo of melon and prosciutto. Grilled asparagus keeps a slight crunch and also has a smoky char to it that pairs with the creaminess and subtle flavor of mozzarella and the fruitiness of melon. To top it off: crumbled prosciutto. I've always loved the salty tang of prosciutto, but since I started baking thin slices of it to make brittle, crispy chips, my love has become a full-blown obsession; they just seem to make everything taste better.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1/4 small melon (about 12 ounces), peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
4 ounces fresh mozzarella or burrata cheese, cut into 3/4-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the prosciutto in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until crispy. Drain the prosciutto on paper towels and set aside to cool. Chop the prosciutto into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Meanwhile, heat a small, heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the pine nuts to the hot skillet and stir them until they become fragrant and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together the asparagus and 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until crisp-tender.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Add the melon and mozzarella cheese. Toss to coat.
  • Arrange the asparagus on a platter. Spoon the melon and mozzarella cheese on top of the asparagus. Drizzle any remaining dressing from the bowl over the top. Sprinkle with the prosciutto and pine nuts and serve.

Grilled Pizzas with Asparagus and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Topped with creamy ricotta and lightly charred veggies, this family favorite becomes truly restaurant-worthy -- in less than a half hour.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), thick ends removed
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), thinly sliced, plus 3 tablespoons oil from jar
1 pound store-bought pizza dough, thawed if frozen
1 cup ricotta

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium. In a large bowl, combine asparagus, scallions, and 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 6 to 9 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut asparagus and scallions into thirds.
  • Brush a large baking sheet with 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil. On a lightly floured work surface, divide dough in half. Roll or stretch to form two 9-inch ovals. Transfer to prepared sheet, and brush with remaining tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil.
  • Transfer dough pieces to grill. Cook until undersides are firm and beginning to char, 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs or a large spatula, transfer crusts, grilled side up, back to baking sheet.
  • Dividing evenly, top crusts with ricotta, then asparagus, scallions, and sun-dried tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Slide back onto grill and cook, rotating occasionally, until crusts are cooked through and cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer pizzas to a cutting board, cut in half, and serve.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC SYRUP



Grilled Asparagus With Balsamic Syrup image

I made this tonight for dinner and it was wonderful. Original recipe is from my Webber Cookbook and I've changed it up for us.

Provided by Nimz_

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, smashed
1/2 lb medium asparagus (about 20 spears)
1 1/2 tablespoons hot pepper oil (I use my Hot Pepper Oil)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan bring the vinegar to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Reduce the heat until just a few bubbles break through the surface.
  • Add the smashed garlic.
  • Cook at a slow simmer until about 1/4 cup of vinegar remains (about 20 minutes).
  • If you cook too quickly or it reduces too much, it will turn bitter rather than sweet.
  • Remove the sauce pan from the heat and let cool to room temperature (The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools).
  • Heat grill to medium heat.
  • Remove and discard all tough, woody ends from the asparagus spears.
  • Wash and pat dry.
  • Lightly coat the asparagus with the Hot Pepper Oil.
  • Season evenly with the salt and pepper.
  • Brush the cooking grate clean.
  • Lay the asparagus perpendicular to the bars on the grate.
  • Grill over direct medium heat with the lid closed as much as possible, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 4-6 minutes, rolling the spears a couple of times and swapping their positions as needed for even cooking.
  • Arrange the asparagus on a platter or individual plates.
  • Remove the garlic from the syrup.
  • If the syrup is stiff, warm it briefly over medium heat.
  • Drizzle some of the syrup over the spears (you may not need all of it.).
  • Season with more salt, if desired.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Asparagus: Select fresh, firm asparagus stalks with tightly closed tips. Avoid limp or wilted stalks.
  • Trim the Asparagus Properly: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus, about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
  • Preheat Your Grill: Ensure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat before grilling the asparagus.
  • Toss the Asparagus in Oil: Before grilling, coat the asparagus in olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will help prevent them from drying out.
  • Grill in Batches: If grilling a large quantity of asparagus, grill them in batches to avoid overcrowding the grill and ensure even cooking.
  • Monitor the Asparagus: Keep a close eye on the asparagus while grilling to prevent them from overcooking. They should be tender but still have a slight bite.
  • Top with Mozzarella and Parmesan: After grilling, top the asparagus with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Return to the grill briefly to melt the cheese.

Conclusion:

Grilled asparagus with mozzarella and Parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
