Grilled Asparagus With Garlic And Lemon Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium.
• In a shallow baking dish, toss the asparagus with the oil to coat well. Add the salt, and pepper and toss.
• Place the asparagus on the grill in a single layer, and cook, turning, until marked and tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with the lemon juice and drizzle with olive oil, to taste. Cover with aluminum foil and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Break off woody ends of asparagus.
• In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and paprika and mix together well with a fork.
• Lay the asparagus side by side and pierce with skewers to form a raft.
• If you use bamboo skewers, don't forget to soak them for 30 minutes before using, so they don't catch fire.
• Place asparagus rafts on the grill and brush with the olive oil mixture.
• Cook to your desired tenderness (it takes almost no time at all), and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Prepare asparagus by trimming the tough bottom portion from the stalks, and then rinsing in cold water to clean. Blanch the asparagus stalks, by placing a few at a time, in boiling salted water for two minutes. Remove and immediatly immerse asparagus in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. After cooling, place on paper towels to dry completly. Place asparagus on top of a piece of foil, that is large enough to loosely wrap all of the asparagus. Drizzel the oil and lemon juice over the top of the asparagus, and thoroughly mix in the minced garlic and shallots. Wrap the asparagus completly in the foil completely sealing the package. Prepare the grill to medium high heat. Place the sealed packet of asparagus directly on top of coals, or gas burner for 3 minutes. (You should hear the sizzling from within the packet almost immediatley). Carefully turn the packet over and cook for another 3 minutes. Place the packet in an indirect cooking position on the grill, and carefully open the packet (which may have to be done with a knife). Close the grill cover and continue to cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until the asparagus is al dente'. Remove asparagus from foil packet to serving dish and season with the gourmet salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Garnish with lemon slices, toasted almonds and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill on medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.

• Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over asparagus. Lightly toss to coat each spear.
• Transfer coated asparagus to the preheated grill with tongs.
• Grill to desired tenderness, 3 to 7 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle asparagus with additional Parmesan cheese.
