Side Dishes

Each summer, I have fresh asparagus from Big John’s garden. I can tell you that nothing beats the flavor of fresh asparagus! You walk out to the garden and cut it like grass. Over the summer, I think we had this at least once or twice a week; it’s quick, easy, healthy and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Asparagus
  • 2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 Cloves Garlic- pressed or minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup or Honey (I used Honey)
  • Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds

Directions

  1. Wash the asparagus and snap off the woody bases.

  2. In a large, shallow bowl, combine the marinade ingredients and mix well.

  3. Add the asparagus to your marinade. (I did this in a ziplock bag. I find it easier to handle and to combine all ingredients and coat the asparagus).

  4. Refrigerate 1-3 hours. Flip the bag every once and awhile to ensure even coating of the asparagus.

  5. Preheat the grill, once hot, place the asparagus on the grill and cook until brown. About 2-4 minutes per side.
