Recipe for Asparagus

Sprouter

Never cooked Asparagus on the egg. Will be cooking a bonless Prime Rib but wanted to try Asparagus also. Anybody have a recipe and technique?

Wise One

Sprouter, I have done it a variety of ways but I think my favorite was to marinade it in an Italian dressing and then just grill direct on a raised grill at 350 for about twenty minutes. Other people have come across a recipe where you drop the asparagus in biling water for a minute and then drop it into ice water to retain it's bright green color. My favorite trick however is to make sure I have three or four extra stalks so I can "test" the asparagus right off the grill to make sure it's ready. That way I can have my asparagus and eat it too.

The Naked Whiz

Sprouter,
Nature Boy posted a wonder recipe for grilled/wokked veggies on the egg. Basically, asparagus, mushrooms, sweet onion and pineapple in a soy sauce, oyster sauce, wine, garlic, sugar marinade. Heat the wok to a nice hot temp and then cook for about 6 minutes. If you like smoke, add it, because these veggies taste great with smoke.[p]TNW

Hey Whiz,[p]Just so happens Qfan and I had those veggies grilled by the maestro himself on Friday night. Accompanied by Dizzy Dusted St. Louis spares, grilled chicken thighs and Polish sausage. All very, very good. So good, in fact, I ate too much.
The link below will take you to the post.
In addition to his basic recipe NB used fresh pineapple, an orange pepper, a little minced fresh ginger and a dallop of hoisin sauce. Nice presentation of colors, play on textures and great grilled flavor.
If you haven't yet printed this recipe then do... it's a keeper.[p]WD

Sprouter,[p]here's a link to an asparagus recipe that I posted a few weeks ago. I also like spraying the stalks with olive oil and salt & pepper, then grilling direct @ 400 degrees or so until it just starts to brown.[p]--Kevin
