Pan Grilled Asparagus
Servings
2Serving size
4 ounces asparagusThis recipe can easily be multiplied and will keep fairly well if chilled immediately.
Ingredients
| 1 quart Water |
| 8 ounces Asparagus, raw |
| 2 quart Ice water |
| 1 spray Spray olive oil |
| 1/8 tsp. Salt |
Instructions
Heat 1 quart of water in a shallow pan over medium-high heat. The water should never come to a full boil.
Place the asparagus in the water and cook for about 5 - 7 minutes until the spears begin to lose their firmness.
Remove and place the ice water. When the asparagus is cooled, remove it from the water and drain.
Place a large non-stick skillet (or roasting pan) in the oven and preheat to 400°F.
When the pan is hot, add the asparagus, spray lightly with olive oil and sprinkle the salt over the top.
Cook for about 5 minutes and toss the asparagus to coat well. Make sure that all sides come in contact with the pan.
The asparagus will take 10 to 15 minutes total cooking time and should be tossed every 3 - 5 minutes.
