Thin asparagus spears work best in this elegant side dish. Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds asparagus |
10 green onions |
2 red bell peppers, cut into 20 strips |
1 cup finely chopped onion |
1 cup red wine vinegar |
1/2 cup water |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon dried tarragon |
1 teaspoon dry mustard |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Cover and cook in a small amount of boiling water 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water; drain well.
2. Trim white portion from green onions, and reserve for another use. Place green onion tops in a bowl; add boiling water to cover. Drain immediately, and rinse under cold running water.
3. Gather asparagus into 10 bundles, and add 2 bell pepper strips to each bundle. Tie each bundle with a green onion strip. Place bundles in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
4. Combine chopped onion and next 9 ingredients (onion through pepper) in a bowl; stir well. Pour over asparagus bundles. Cover and chill 2 to 8 hours.
5. To serve, remove asparagus bundles from marinade, and discard marinade. Arrange asparagus bundles on a serving platter.
