Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 -3 garlic cloves, sliced
1 teaspoon dill seeds or 1 teaspoon fresh dill
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 -2 bay leaf
1 1/2 lbs asparagus, rinsed and tough ends snapped off

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, salt, sugar, garlic, spices and 2 cups water in a wide 4-5 quart pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add asparagus (if liquid doesn't fully cover asparagus, add more water).
  • Simmer, stirring occasionally, until asparagus has faded to dull green and is tender-crisp, about 4-6 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add 2 cups of ice cubes to stop cooking. Let stand for 30-60 minutes; the flavor becomes more intense the longer it stays in the brine.
  • Drain, and refrigerate. Eat within a few days.
