Grilled asparagus with tomato and feta

Grilled asparagus with tomato and feta is a vibrant and healthy dish that combines the earthy flavors of grilled asparagus with the juicy tanginess of fresh tomatoes and the creamy saltiness of feta cheese. This dish is perfect as a side or even a light main course, offering a delightful combination of textures and flavors.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2.50 lb asparagus
1130g
2 tomatoes
260g
1/2 cup feta cheese
120g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Asparagus
- Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim off the woody ends. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.
2. Preheat the Grill
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
3. Season the Asparagus
- Place the asparagus in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder or lemon zest for extra flavor, if desired.
4. Grill the Asparagus
- Arrange the asparagus spears directly on the grill grates or lay them on a grill pan in a single layer.
- Grill the asparagus for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and lightly charred. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the spears.
5. Prepare the Tomatoes and Feta
- While the asparagus is grilling, dice the tomatoes into small pieces.
- Crumble the feta cheese into a small bowl and set aside.
6. Assemble the Dish
- Once the asparagus is grilled to your liking, transfer it to a serving platter.
- Sprinkle the diced tomatoes evenly over the grilled asparagus.
- Scatter the crumbled feta cheese on top.
7. Add the Finishing Touches
- Drizzle the vinegar over the assembled dish for a nice tangy kick. Adjust the amount to taste.
- For added flavor, you can drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top and sprinkle with fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
8. Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the grilled asparagus with tomato and feta immediately. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, fish, or as a stand-alone vegetarian dish.

Tips:

- Choose fresh asparagus: Look for firm, bright green asparagus stalks with closed tips. Avoid any that are wilted or have mushy spots.

- Properly heat your grill: Ensure your grill is preheated to medium-high to get a good char on the asparagus without overcooking them.

- Oil the asparagus: Coat the asparagus with olive oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill and to promote even cooking.

- Don't overcook: Grill the asparagus for about 2-4 minutes, turning them frequently to ensure they are tender but still slightly crisp.

- Season at the right time: Add seasoning like salt and pepper just before serving to retain the fresh flavors of the vegetables.

- Incorporate the tomatoes and feta: Add the tomatoes and feta cheese after grilling to maintain their fresh and vibrant texture and taste.

- Variations to try: Experiment with added ingredients like a squeeze of lemon juice, a sprinkle of fresh herbs (such as basil or dill), or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for additional flavor.

This grilled asparagus with tomato and feta recipe is a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy fresh vegetables. The smoky char of the asparagus combined with the sweet tang of tomatoes and the creamy, salty bite of feta makes it a perfect accompaniment to any meal or a stand-alone light dish. Enjoy the freshness and simplicity of these wholesome ingredients with minimal effort!
