Fiery Grilled Asparagus
Here's a recipe that I picked up from one of those recipe cards in the grocery store. It's definitely worth making again....and SOON!
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tsp rice wine vinegar - I didn't have this so used regular white vinegar instead and it seemed to work just fine.
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted - I also didn't have this and omitted them but am sure they would be a nice addition
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat grill to a medium heat and coat with a non-stick cooking spray
- Trip and discard tough ends of asparagus
- In a shallow dish, combine asparagus, oil, red pepper flakes, vinegar, sugar and salt and pepper
- Let stand 15 minutes
- Place asparagus on grill and grill 5 minutes, turning once
- After grilling, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve
And here's the picture of the delicious meal:
