My fridge has been filled and re-filled with asparagus over the last couple of weeks. I’m usually quite content to toss it with olive oil, salt and pepper, and throw it on the grill. That was until I saw Nate Appleman‘s recipe in the June 2009 issue of Food & Wine Magazine. I have been spoiled forever. My parents are visiting from Vancouver and I made this for dinner tonight. Rave reviews all around the table! It was the perfect accompaniment to a spice-rubbed pork tenderloin and basmati rice with toasted cumin seeds.
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil…
3 tbsp lemon juice…
1 crushed garlic clove…
1 tbsp smoked paprika (yum!)…
2 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp cumin seeds.
Whisk together.
Add 1 pound of asparagus.
Toss with the marinade and let rest for 30-60 minutes.
Preheat a grill to high heat, then turn it down slightly to medium-high.
Place the asparagus on the grill and cook until the asparagus is tender and slightly blistered, 5-6 minutes.
Serve it up! I’m salivating looking at the photos again.

i love that recipe I have asparagus I think I will do it!
Dear Friend!
Greetings!
I’ll tell you what: next time you have so many asparaguses, make a nice veloute soup and keep it in the fridge. Serve it as an appetizer!
Cheers,

I have never been a big asparagus fan (although I do like saying the word… asparagus…asparagus…yep, I’m a dork!) but this recipe actually looks good! I might have to try it. And if I don’t like it, then my husband loves asparagus!

Yummy! I can never get too many ways to prepare asparagus.
Good grief girl! This sounds to die for. I am an asparagus nut, but most often do the olive oil and s & p thing too. I have copied this recipe to cook for the hubby when he is home in a month…..can't wait to have this!
