Sooooo good as a side item instead of french fries...especially since we ladies of "childbearing age" should be getting as much folic acid as possible :) I made these with stuffed turkey burgers last night. Don't forget to eat 'em with your fingers!!
Grilled Asparagus w/ Balsamic Vinegar:
A standard supermarket bunch of green asparagus
1 tsp. coarse sea salt
3 tsp. raw or brown sugar
Balsamic vinegar
Melted butter (or olive oil)
Preheat oven to 425° F or turn on the grill
Lay trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Sprinkle the asparagus lightly with the salt, and then with the sugar. How much sugar? Just a couple of pinches; you don't want them to be sugar-coated, just to have a hint of the sweetness.
Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar...not a ton.
Put a little melted butter or extra virgin olive oil over the asparagus - again, don't dump. Butter makes it taste a bit sweeter, while olive oil makes it a little more savory.
Bake/grill for 8-10 minutes, turning a couple of times. Remove to plates and spoon over any leftover liquid in the pan over them. Serve immediately.
