This recipe is a nice twist on traditional grilled asparagus spears. Skewering groups of asparagus spears together makes them easier to flip on the grill. Sesame seeds lend additional crunch and a sprinkling of color to the dark green spears. The secret for cooking asparagus is simple: don't overcook it. The slender shoots should turn out crisp and bright in color. Ingredients:
16 thick asparagus spears (about 1 pound) |
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce |
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
dash of salt |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill.
2. Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Arrange 4 asparagus spears on a flat surface. Thread 2 (3-inch) skewers or wooden picks horizontally through spears 1 inch from each end to form a raft. Repeat procedure with remaining asparagus spears.
3. Combine soy sauce, oil, and garlic; brush evenly over asparagus rafts. Grill 3 minutes on each side or until crisp-tender. Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds, pepper, and salt.
