GRILLED ASPARAGUS

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.

Tips:

  • Choose thick asparagus stalks. Thicker stalks will hold up better on the grill and will be less likely to overcook.
  • Trim the asparagus. Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus stalks, about 1 inch from the bottom.
  • Blanch the asparagus. Blanching the asparagus before grilling will help to preserve its color and flavor. 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 the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp. Remove the asparagus from the boiling water and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Pat the asparagus dry. Before grilling the asparagus, pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the asparagus to get a nice char on the grill.
  • Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will help to season the asparagus and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the asparagus over medium-high heat. Grill the asparagus for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is tender-crisp and slightly charred.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately. Grilled asparagus is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can drizzle it with additional olive oil, lemon juice, or balsamic vinegar, if desired.

Conclusion:

Grilled asparagus is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The tips above will help you to make the best grilled asparagus possible. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
