Recipe for Grilled Marinated Asparagus with Gremolata
Ingredients for Grilled Marinated Asparagus:
1 lb. fresh asparagus, trimmed
2 whole lemons, cut in half
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1½ tsp. Mediterranean-spiced sea salt
Black pepper
Optional:
Top with shaved Parmesan cheese
Ingredients for Gremolata:
¼ cup fresh parsley leaves, washed, dried thoroughly, and finely chopped
1 tsp. organic lemon zest
2 tsp. preserved lemon rind, rinsed and finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, grated
Sea salt and black pepper
Tip: For easier turning thread two pre-soaked wooden skewers through several spears lined up side by side to hold them together.
Directions:
1. Place asparagus in a wide, shallow bowl and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with Mediterranean-spiced sea salt and black pepper, to taste.
Gently toss to combine and set aside for 15-20 minutes to marinate.
2. Prepare the gremolata by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and set aside.
3. Spray grill grates with non-stick cooking spray and preheat grill to medium-high.
4. Place asparagus and lemon halves over direct heat and grill for 3-4 minutes per side or until they are crisp-tender.
5. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Top with gremolata and serve with grilled lemons for squeezing. You can also top with shaved Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Pair this tasty asparagus with a grilled tuna steak or your favorite meat, chicken, or seafood entree.
