Five-Ingredient Grilled Asparagus with Pecorino and Pine Nuts image

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Place a cooling rack upside down on the grill.
  • Toss the asparagus with 1/3 cup of the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus, turning often to ensure even charring, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the Pecorino-Romano, lemon zest and juice and some salt and pepper to a bowl and mix to combine. Slowly whisk in the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil to form an emulsion.
  • Arrange the asparagus on a serving plater. Drizzle with the dressing and garnish with the pine nuts and more Pecorino.

2 bunches green pencil asparagus
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup grated Pecorino-Romano, plus extra for garnish
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts

MY FAVORITE WAY TO COOK ASPARAGUS

The best thing about this method is that it is completely and easily do-ahead! Great for company! Since HIS favorite way to EAT asparagus is as a separate course on buttered toast, at the end of the 8 minutes cooking time, I drain almost all the water out of the skillet, add a chunk of butter, heat slightly until the butter melts and serve on (yes) buttered toast. Edited to say: call me crazy, but I peel my asparagus with a potato peeler unless it is under 1/4" thick!

My Favorite Way to Cook Asparagus image

Steps:

  • Snap off bottom third of stalks or where they snap easily. Arrange the thoroughly washed stalks in 2 or 3 flat layers (bigger stalks on the bottom) in a 10-12" skillet.
  • Cover with cold water until it stands ½" above the asparagus. Add a tablespoon each of salt and sugar.
  • Bring UNCOVERED to a rolling boil; let boil from 2-4 minutes depending upon the thickness of the asparagus and whether you like it very crisp or not quite so chewy.
  • Remove from the heat and let stand, still uncovered, in the water at least 8 minutes or until ready to serve.
  • If the wait to serve is too long and the asparagus gets cold, simply bring to a boil once more, drain and serve immediately.
  • Sometimes I get crazy and sizzle the stalks in the butter for a couple of minutes. Still have to put that on toast, though.
  • Cooking Tip: Frozen asparagus may be cooked the same way. Start with frozen, cover with cold water, bring to a boil separating stalks; boil 1 minute, take off the heat and let stand for 4 minutes.
  • Maybe you would like a smashed garlic clove and/or red pepper flakes in the water. I haven't tried that yet.
