Grilled Asparagus With Orzo
- 1/2 lb asparagus, ends trimmed
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 2 cups dried whole wheat orzo
- 1/4 cup creme fraiche
- 2 tsp minced fresh dill
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 tsp grated lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 3 tbs toasted pine nuts
- Light grill and bring heat to med-low. Toss asparagus with olive oil, place directly on the grill or on a grill pan and cook, rotating occasionally, until the asparagus is tender and lightly charred, 7-8 minutes. Remove from grill, chop into bite-size pieces and place in a serving bowl
- Fill a large pot with water and a pinch of salt, bring to a boil. Add orzo and cook until just tender, 7-9 minutes. Drain, add orzo to asparagus
- In a small bowl, whisk together the creme fraiche, dill, honey, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Pour over the still-warm orzo and still until salad is well combined. Sprinke with toasted pine nuts and extra dill. Serve warm.
