Grilled Orange Asparagus
- 1 -1 12 lb asparagus, ends removed and cut in half on a angle
- 14 cup white wine
- 1 shallot (small and thin sliced)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 orange, cut in half and then 1/2 sliced 1/2 juiced
- 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon, chopped
- 12 teaspoon kosher salt
- 14 teaspoon black pepper
- Prepare the asparagus -- In a small bowl melt the butter in the microwave for 10 seconds.
- Then add the wine, olive oil, orange juice, shallot, tarragon, salt and pepper.
- Toss in the asparagus and mix to coat well.
- Wrap up -- In a large sheet of foil add the asparagus and top with the orange slices and seal up like a present or package.
- First easy cooking, easy clean up and great steamed flavor and the asparagus will slightly roast as well.
- I prefer mine on the grill, but the oven method will also work fine.
- Cook -- Done.
- Grill for about 20 minutes of medium heat or you can cook in an oven on 400 for 20 minutes as well.
- Just be careful not to puncture the pouch as you want all the good flavor of the wine, orange and butter.
- Serve and enjoy -- The orange slices make a great presentation on top of the asparagus as you serve it.
- Try cornish hens or grilled herbed chicken with this and maybe a side of wild rice or even roasted sweet potatoes grilled.
