[recipe] Roasted Asparagus & another recipe

[Guest guest]

I made something similar a few nights ago but I like the olive

oil/garlic combination of yours. Here's mine:

 

Fiery Grilled Asparagus

 

1-2 lbs fresh asparagus

2 tbsp. sesame oil

3 tbsp. rice vinegar

1 tbsp. Sambal Oelek (ground red chili paste)

sprinkle of sugar

salt and pepper tot taste

2 tsp toasted sesame seeds

 

Rinse and trim ends of asparagus. Barbecue or broil asparagus,

turning frequently, until crisp tender and lightly charred. Remove

from grill or broiler and place in a large bowl. In a separate bowl

combine oil, vinegar, chili paste, sugar, salt and pepper. Pour over

asparagus and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot

or cold.
