Grilled Asparagus With Raspberries And Asiago Cheese Recipes

ASPARAGUS AND ASIAGO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
• Arrange the asparagus in a single layer in a large baking dish and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Toss the spears gently to coat with the oil.
• In a bowl, whisk together the cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a grinding of pepper. Drizzle in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and stir until well mixed. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the asparagus.
• Bake, uncovered, until the asparagus is just tender and the topping is melted and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your asparagus.
• Drizzle the asparagus with some lemon juice and serve hot, straight from the baking dish, or arrange on a lovely little gratin dish to take to the table. Originally published March 28, 2012.

GRILLED PARMESAN GARLIC ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Prepare asparagus and trim the bottoms.
• Lay the asparagus in the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss in the olive oil.
• Lay the asparagus on the grill or grill plate in a row. Grill for 5-10 minutes over medium high heat until they have char marks and are fork tender. Remove asparagus and place back in the pan. Toss with garlic and parmesan cheese. Serve.
• *You can also grill the asparagus in foil if desired.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Toss the trimmed asparagus with the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Grill until lightly charred on each side, but still robust and crunchy, about 5 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut the asparagus into very thin slices on the bias (diagonal), and set aside.
• Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil. Grill the bread on both sides until toasted with nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and immediately rub the slices of bread on one side with the peeled garlic cloves.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the goat cheese, tomatoes and red pepper until well combined. Spread the goat cheese mixture on the grilled bread in an even layer. Divide the asparagus among each slice of bread, layering it on top of the cheese mixture. Cut each slice in half, and serve the bruschetta immediately.

GRILLED ASIAN ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Place asparagus and hoisin sauce into a resealable plastic bag and shake several times to coat asparagus with sauce. Allow to stand at least 30 minutes. For best flavor, refrigerate and marinate overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove asparagus from bag and shake off excess hoisin sauce; lay asparagus spears onto the grill and cook, turning every 1 to 2 minutes, until all sides of the spears show grill marks and hoisin sauce has caramelized onto the asparagus, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Transfer asparagus to a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.
