Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs asparagus , tough stems trimmed
2 tbsp red wine vinegar (or try balsamic!)
2 shallots, chopped (or 1/4 cup scallions)
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tsp orange juice concentrate
1 tbsp whole grain mustard
1/3 cup olive oil , extra virgin
salt and black pepper

Directions:

Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large stockpot. Add asparagus and cook until it is crisp tender, 3 or 4 minutes, depending on the size. Drain and dip in icy cold water. Set aside.
In a bowl combine vinegar, shallots, garlic, thyme, orange juice concentrate, and mustard. Slowly whisk in the oil to blend well. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour mixture over asparagus. Let marinate while you light the coals or start the grill.
To make the grilling easier, you can place the asparagus on skewers, running a skewer through each end of the spear and fitting about 5 spears on each pair of skewers. Grill the asparagus on each side just to mark it, 1 or 2 minutes per side. Remove from the grill. Serve warm or at room temperature. Or, you can just broil them till they start to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
