Marinated Asparagus Bundles

• 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

• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

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.
