Categories     side-dish

Time 8h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 medium shallots, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, lightly smashed
2 sprigs fresh oregano
2 bunches medium asparagus (about 2 pounds), woody ends trimmed and discarded
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped

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.

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.
