How's about 2 recipes this morning? Lori added hers and here's mine! (By the by, just so you know, I NEVER measure ingredients. I fly by sight. So I'm going to guess but it will work! I promise!)
Grilled (Or sautéed) Asparagus
1 bunch of asparagus
2-3 tbsp. Olive Oil
Some spray butter (I Can't Believe It's Not Butter is what I use)
*OR 1 tsp. butter, melted
Grated Parmesan cheese
Snap or cut off the bottom inch or so of your asparagus. Pour the olive oil in a large (gallon) zip lock bag, squirt in a few spritzes of the butter (or pour in the melted butter), toss in the asparagus and shake it around until coated. Fire up your grill and let it heat up for a few minutes. I use a grill pan that has holes in it so the flame actually comes through - dump the coated asparagus in the grill pan and throw it on the grill. After about 4 minutes, toss the asparagus around and then grill for about 4 more minutes. Once the asparagus is done, remove from the heat and sprinkle on the grated cheese. Enjoy!
The grill flames add a crispy coat on the outside of the asparagus, and the salt and butter give it a sweet flavor that is unbelievable! (My 15 year old son LOVES this!!!)
(If you don't have a grill, you can do this on the stove. Just toss it in a pan on medium heat and toss it around for about 7-8 minutes. You want the asparagus to still have some crisp to it. No one wants mushy asparagus! EW! (Garlic salt, or lemon and pepper, can be used also for different flavors.)
