Grilled Asparagus With Sun Dried Tomato Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium. In a large bowl, combine asparagus, scallions, and 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 6 to 9 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut asparagus and scallions into thirds.
• Brush a large baking sheet with 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil. On a lightly floured work surface, divide dough in half. Roll or stretch to form two 9-inch ovals. Transfer to prepared sheet, and brush with remaining tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil.
• Transfer dough pieces to grill. Cook until undersides are firm and beginning to char, 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs or a large spatula, transfer crusts, grilled side up, back to baking sheet.
• Dividing evenly, top crusts with ricotta, then asparagus, scallions, and sun-dried tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Slide back onto grill and cook, rotating occasionally, until crusts are cooked through and cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer pizzas to a cutting board, cut in half, and serve.

Steps:

• Place tomatoes, vinegar, garlic and basil in a blender and blend until smooth. Slowly add the olive oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Preheat grill. Brush the vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill until cooked through. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with tomato vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450. Trim woody ends from asparagus. Spread the spears in a single layer in a shallow baking pan that has been sprayed with Pam.
• Drizzle with olive oil; shake pan back and forth to coat asparagus.
• Roast asparagus until lighly browned and tender, about 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through.
• Vinaigrette: Combine ingredients in a measuring cup and let sit for 30 minutes (this will soften the tomatoe).
• Spoon evenly over asparagus. Can serve either hot or cover and chill 2 hours.
