Grilled Asparagus With Balsamic Vinegar Recipes

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.

• Cook at a slow simmer until about 1/4 cup of vinegar remains (about 20 minutes).

• Lightly coat the asparagus with the Hot Pepper Oil.
• Season evenly with the salt and pepper.

• 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.).
