have any other recipes for it. Elaine

When it's in season, I grill asparagus over a hardwood charcoal fire. It is excellent. Simplest
recipe is to coat the spears with any cheap bottled Italian salad dressing, then grill over a hot
fire for about 5 min. then turn and grill for about 4 min. more.

For the smaller spears, you can skewer them together like a raft. It's easier to turn them over.

I roast it with garlic and basalmic vinegar... but I think it's the ho-hum "Everyone does it that
way", way.

I like it grilled and then served with lemon butter and freshly grated parm.

I like mine sauted with a little sprinkle of salt when done. I also like it wrapped in a peppered
ham (prosciutto, for example), baked and then given a light cheese sauce.

Oh! And I also like to chop asparagus with one or two other vegetables, add a chile, saute then use
it as filling for an omelette. Fry your eggs until partially set, put the asparagus, et. all., in
the middle, fold to your plate and sprinkle with cheese...

The larger ones are just easier to handle, but I prefer the thinner ones, and just have to deal.

I use one of those "sitr-fry" baskets for the grill.

I'm with Blair on this, though I have been known to splash a touch of balsamic on them after they
come off the grill. Also nice to grill alongside similarly treated squash, eggplant, mushrooms, etc.
Chop 'em all up fine and mix with a little balsamico. Top toasted bread. Consume. Salivate for more.

Asparagus must be Steamed! Best Taste in the world! I use what my mother called a double boiler
(it's a funny double pot which has holes in the bottom of the top part). Cook it for around three
minutes, or to taste. comes out still tasty.

eat it plain, or with a pinch of salt.

lemon/lime might also be tasty, but a waste of asparagus.

Yeah, ;-d And don't forget the Portabellos! I like to marinate those in Wish Bone Italian Dressing
prior to grilling..... Wonder how that would be with Asparagus?

Kat,

Sinful summertime treat along the lines of the previous recipe.

Prior prep

Roast a red pepper, mix in the fod processor with a half pound fresh ricotta cheese, olive oil,
garlic cloves and some basil and oregano. Blend until uniformly pink/rose colored. Let sit in the
fridge over night.

Couple yellow squash Couple zucchini Asparagus spears Button mushrooms

Slice squash and zucchini. Prep asparagus and de-stem mushrooms. Toss all with olive oil, salt, and
pepper in a bowl. Grill until colored, dice all finely, mix in bowl with a little more oil and good
balsamic. Cool in fridge

Take a good loaf of bread, slice to preferred thickness. Brush with oil and grill until nicely
colored. Smear warm toast with roasted red pepper ricotta. Spoon diced veggies over the top of the
bread. Enjoy (immensely)

How do you grill the button mushrooms? Is there a grilling basket of some sort that can be used?
Or are you using a foreman? The only type of grilling I do at the moment is over a wood or
charcoal fire outside.

try a good hamburger basket... the kind I've got is wonderful... perfect even for grilling
marinated veggies.

Ditto. ;-) I will also pan broil it from time to time in a cast iron skillet with butter and EVOO.

Grilled asparagus is the gods!

or similar. The one I use is round like a regular wok, but with the holes.

I've seen flat ones which, in my opinion, would work better but haven't been able to find
them for sale.
