Chargrilled asparagus with mustard vinaigrette

Chargrilled asparagus with mustard vinaigrette is a delightful and easy-to-make side dish that brings a smoky and tangy flavor to your table. Perfect for any meal, this recipe highlights the natural sweetness of asparagus while adding a zesty twist with a homemade mustard vinaigrette.

Ingredients:

1 tsp olive oil
4.50g
2.50 lb asparagus
1130g
1 tsp black pepper
2g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g
1 tsp mustard
5g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp sugar
5g
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your Grill:
- If using a gas or charcoal grill, preheat to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stove.
2. Prepare the Asparagus:
- Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim off the woody ends. Toss the asparagus with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
3. Season Asparagus:
- Sprinkle the asparagus with 1 teaspoon of black pepper and a pinch of salt. If desired, add extra pepper to taste.
4. Grill the Asparagus:
- Place the asparagus on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve an even char. The asparagus should be tender but still crisp.
5. Make the Mustard Vinaigrette:
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of mustard, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Season with salt and extra pepper to taste. Continue whisking until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well combined.
6. Dress the Asparagus:
- Once the asparagus is charred and cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill. Place the asparagus on a serving platter and drizzle the mustard vinaigrette over the top.
7. Serve Immediately:
- Serve the chargrilled asparagus warm as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Choose Fresh Asparagus: Select bright green, crisp asparagus stalks for the best flavor and texture. Avoid limp or wilted stalks.

- Preheat the Grill Properly: Ensure your grill is hot before you place the asparagus on it. This helps in achieving those beautiful char marks.

- Don't Overcook: Grill the asparagus until tender but still slightly crisp. Overcooking can make them mushy.

- Adjust Seasoning to Taste: Feel free to adjust the amount of salt and pepper in the vinaigrette according to your preference.

- Serve Immediately: Serve the chargrilled asparagus right off the grill for the best flavor and texture, while it's still warm and crisp.

With minimal ingredients and simple steps, chargrilled asparagus with mustard vinaigrette makes for a quick, healthy, and flavor-packed side dish. Enjoy the tender-crisp texture of the asparagus combined with the zesty mustard vinaigrette, perfect for complementing any entree.
