Asparagus is a versatile vegetable that can be cooked in a variety of ways. One of the most popular methods is to grill asparagus, which gives it a slightly charred flavor and tender-crisp texture. Grilling asparagus is also a healthy way to cook it, as it retains more nutrients than boiling or steaming. To add even more flavor to grilled asparagus, you can glaze it with a mixture of mustard and mayonnaise. This combination of flavors is a classic for a reason: the tangy mustard and creamy mayonnaise complement each other perfectly, and they help to bring out the natural sweetness of the asparagus.
Here are our top 16 tried and tested recipes!
MUSTARD AND MAYONNAISE GLAZED ASPARAGUS (GRILLED)
Recipe from Food & Wine, June 2009. Per the website, "Chef Nate Appleman of A16 and SPQR restaurants in San Francisco swears by coating vegetables with a mayonnaise-based marinade; it creates a beautifully blistered crust when grilled. Here he offers a marinade for asparagus that is also fabulous on broccoli and fennel." Prep time is actually marinating time. NOTE: This is VERY lemony, so if that's not your thing, make sure you decrease the amount of lemon juice in the marinade.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: In a lidded jar, combine the mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Seal tightly and shake vigorously to combine. For a creamier dressing, whiz in a blender. Store in an airtight container, chilled, for up to 2 weeks.
- Make the asparagus: Fire the grill to medium-high heat and position the grill grate 2 to 4 inches above the coals.
- While the asparagus are still bundled, slice off about 2 inches from the fibrous bottoms.
- Rinse the asparagus, allowing a few water droplets to cling to the stalks, and transfer to a serving plate or baking sheet; the moisture will help them steam and cook over the fire. Add the olive oil and, using long tongs or your hands, toss the asparagus until evenly coated with the oil. Season with the salt and pepper.
- Place the asparagus on the grill grate over direct heat. Using long tongs, rotate the asparagus frequently and cook until tender and charred, 5 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to let any fall through the grate.
- Transfer the grilled asparagus to a serving plate, baking sheet, or campers' plates and drizzle with the dressing. Set out the Parmesan wedge with a vegetable peeler so campers can add thin shavings of cheese to their dish.
- Serve warm or cold. Store leftovers in an airtight container, chilled, for up to 4 days.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH HAZELNUT-STAR ANISE MAYONNAISE
Steps:
- In a food processor or blender, combine the egg yolks, vinegar, citrus juices and zest, honey, salt, pepper, and star anise. While the machine is running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream until the mixture is emulsified. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the chopped hazelnuts for a garnish and process the rest briefly with the mayonnaise. Remove the mayonnaise to a small bowl.
- Fire up the grill. Brush the asparagus with olive oil and lay horizontally across the grill grates. This prevents them from falling through the grates. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roll the asparagus with tongs to grill them evenly, and don't be afraid to char them a little bit. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the asparagus and the heat of the grill. Medium-thick asparagus takes about 6 minutes.
- On the plate: Arrange the asparagus in bundles on plates. Drape some of the mayonnaise over each bundle. Sprinkle the remaining chopped toasted hazelnuts over the mayonnaise and garnish with orange slices or wedges.

Steps:
- Put the tangerine juice in a small non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 1/2 cup. Let cool to room temperature.
- Peel the tangerines, removing all the white pith, and segment over a bowl to catch both the segments and the juices. Cover and refrigerate until very cold.
- Combine the reduced juice, tarragon, egg yolk, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a blender and blend until well mixed. With the machine running, add the 1 cup olive oil, at first by drops and then, as mixture emulsifies, in a thin, steady stream until all the oil is incorporated. Taste, for seasoning. Scrape into a jar, cover, and refrigerate until needed. You should have about 1 2/3 cups mayonnaise. Keeps 2 to 3 days, refrigerated.
- Prepare the grill and let burn down to medium coals. Toss the cooled asparagus with about 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium to low coals, turning the spears as needed, until they take on a little color and are just tender, about 6 minutes. Cover the grill, if necessary, to maintain the heat.
- Arrange the asparagus on a platter with the reserved tangerine segments. Dot with the mayonnaise, and drizzle with any tangerine juice left in the bowl. Garnish with fresh or candied zest and the nuts, if using. Serve at once.
- Cook's Note: Every cook has insecurities. One of mine is mayonnaise. I always get a little anxious until I see it coming together in the blender. If the mayonnaise is too thick, thin it, with the machine running, by pulsing in a little cool water. If you are concerned about raw eggs, use a pasteurized egg product or an egg substitute such as Egg Beaters.

Steps:
- Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. If using large thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler. Medium asparagus will not need peeling.

- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, place the shallots, vinegar and a pinch of salt. Let shallots soften for 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard to dissolve, then whisk in the olive oil to make a thick dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a large stainless-steel soup pot bring 4 quarts of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until just done. Remove asparagus with a large strainer and spread out on a baking sheet lined with a clean kitchen towel. Asparagus may be served warm or at room temperature.
- To serve, place asparagus on a platter or individual plates. Spoon the vinaigrette over the asparagus. Garnish with quartered eggs (or roughly chop the eggs if you prefer). Sprinkle with chives.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH LEMON DRESSING
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.

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, tender asparagus spears. Look for spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips.
- Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears. Snap off the bottom inch or two of each spear, where the stem becomes tough.

- To make the mustard-mayonnaise glaze, combine Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Brush the asparagus spears with the mustard-mayonnaise glaze before grilling. This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
- Grill the asparagus spears over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Serve the asparagus spears immediately, topped with additional mustard-mayonnaise glaze, if desired.
Conclusion:
Mustard-and-mayonnaise-glazed asparagus is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
