Grilled Asparagus And Carrots With Grapefruit Dill Sauce Recipes

ASPARAGUS WITH CREAMY DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, bring water and salt to a boil; add the asparagus. Cover and cook over medium heat until crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes; drain. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm. In the same skillet over low heat, stir cream cheese and milk until smooth. Stir in dill, garlic salt and pepper. Pour over asparagus.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH LEMON DRESSING

Steps:

• Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus; most spears will break an inch or two from the bottom. Peel the stalks up to the flower bud. Meanwhile, start a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill; if you're cooking indoors, heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it smokes.
• To grill the asparagus spears, toss them with about a tablespoon of oil, mixing with your hands until spears are coated. Season well with salt and pepper. Grill until tender and browned in spots, turning once or twice, in all 5 to 10 minutes.
• To pan grill the asparagus, do not oil or season them. Just toss them in the hot skillet, and cook, turning the spears individually as they brown, until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove as they finish, and season with salt and pepper.
• Mix together the lemon juice and shallots, then stir in enough olive oil to add a little body and take the edge off the sharpness of the lemon; the mixture should still be strong. Season it well with salt and plenty of black pepper, and stir in the parsley. Serve the asparagus hot or at room temperature with grilled fish. Spoon the sauce over everything.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS GRIBICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium. Brush the asparagus with oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through. Remove from the grill and place on a serving platter.
• Place the cooked egg yolks, tarragon, capers, cornichons, salt, and pepper in the work bowl of a food processor and pulse until just combined. With the processor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified. Add enough white wine vinegar to make the sauce thin enough to drizzle. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if necessary. Drizzle the sauce over the asparagus and serve immediately.

GRILLED CARROTS WITH CREAMY SRIRACHA SAUCE
