Going to grill up some asparagus tonight. Got some at the store, should the white ends of it be cut off?

I am going to make a foil pouch and was planning on sprinkling a bit of cayanne pepper, some diced garic, a bit of onion, salt, pepper and throw in some lime juice.  No butter, too many calories.

How long should it be on the grill? Using charcoal and wood chips...

I just brush them with olive oil and place directly on the grill.  I like mine a little soft, so I have to taste test them regularly while cooking to make sure they are perfect when they come off the grill ;-)

Throw it in the trash and cook some ribs.

Foil pouch?  Might as well be in the oven.  

We grill asparagus a lot....Olave olive oil (albahaca preferred) fresh cracked black pepper, and see salt.  Don't overcook, or they'll be soggy.

I have two methods for the grill:

1) toss with oil and kosher salt and grill directly on grates

2) form "bundles" of 5-7 pieces then wrap together with 2 slices of bacon. Grill directly on grates.


Time on the grill is personal preference depending on how tender you want them. Also, as you can see I prefer to forgo the foil pouch as I like a little more grill flavor.

This is good advice.


You could always soak them in water for a couple of hours prior

We do it all the time.... Toss with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Grill and get a little color on them.. They are great.

I love white asparagus, but green can be cooked the same way.

Sprinkle with olive oil and Nature's Seasoning (Lowry's Seasoning Salt is also good).  Throw on the grill and cook till done. Do NOT overcook...just cook till they are warm to the center.

While I do enjoy grilled veggies, I still prefer to steam them on the grill side burner.
Sorry, no tips.....

Don't pay any attention to the fatties....

I add some sea salt and some pepper. But it's pretty easy.

A little bottled Italian dressing, let it marinate for a while, toss it on the grill till it looks done and serve.  Works for us!

I did a little olive oil and salt and pepper in foil. Probably 12 minutes or so till tender.


I can fuck up anything, other than red meat and chicken, on the grill like it is my job. If I can do it. You can do it!

Cut the fibrous end off and take the skin off the stalk with a veggie peeler (trust me on this) toss with olive oil, sea salt, and fresh pepper. Use medium heat, they cook fast, just a couple minutes. If you get flare ups, you used too much oil.

Excuse me, Sir.

But would that be Yorkshire pudding?

If it pleases Sir, may I have your recipe? Mine always sucks. Bad.

Don't grill.  Put them in a oven safe glass dish with a tiny bit of olive oil.  Cook for about ten minutes.  Apply a small amount of lemon juice and serve.

Sure thing.


1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
a pinch of salt.

Blend that up thoroughly, cover and refrigerate while you cook your beef. When your beef is done and you take it out to rest, turn the oven up to 450. Pour a some of the fat from the roasting pan into a baking dish. Put that in the oven to get the grease good and hot. Pour the cold batter into the hot grease put the baking pan in the oven for 20 minutes, 25 if you like it a little browner. Slice beef, put pudding on plate, add gravy and NOM!

That recipe makes a pan about 6X9 for two big servings you could probably get 3-4 servings if you kept em small.

wrap with some good bacon around clusters of 3 stalks. Pin together with angel hair spaghetti instead of toothpicks...eat the whole thing.

peeling renders the tougher ends useable.

Generally if you take a spear and grab both ends and bend, it will break in a very special place.  That place is where the though ends and the tender begins.

Peeling the ends gives you more useable veggie (which is nice since you pay by the pound.)

It's said to be best refrigerated overnight, but at least for two hours.

You should come out good this, recipe has worked every time for me.

ETA  If you just have to prepare it wrap each stalk in bacon fry in skillet until the bacon is done. Remove tasty bacon...give Asparagus to the women you cooked it for...retain and transfer bacon to your plate then enjoy eating the bacon.

Olive oil, salt, fresh cracked pepper, garlic, and a little lemon zest.

1) snap off the end where they break naturally

2) grill until tender but with a slight crunch still left in them

3) toss in olive oil, salt, garlic, and pepper

Much better flavor than baked, blanched, or boiled

If you think you should give them more time......take them off, they are done!  I usually leave them on too long
