How do ya cook asparagus?

[LOVEMYLABXS]

Got given a bag given to me and other then boiling or steaming any other ways to fix it?

[EMPyre]

Its great in the pan, a little olive oil and lemon pepper.  Or olive oil and then on the BBQ is good too, just don't burn it either way.  It'll get bitter if its over cooked.

The best way i found to cook it is to take you asparagus and run two skewers perpendicular through it.  Put olive oil salt&pepper and garlic on both sides and grill on the BBQ.  Not too long though.  Its awesome

A great way is also to pickle the asparagus, great treat later when with friends...

You can also make a foil boat and put some water in it, throw the asparagus in there with a little garlic salt, and throw it on the bbq.

Wrap about 5 lbs. of Prime rib around it and cook to desired state of done. Place on large platter and dig in. somewhere along the way you will run into a piece of asparagus or two. You won't care how it tastes by then.

BEST WAY EVER

I wasnt a huge asparagus fan until my girlfriend showed me this way.

I usually only have it when bbq..
  1. Make a foil tray with lips
  2. Spread asparagus in single layer
  3. Cover with balsamic vinaigrett(usually half bottle..just depends how much you are making.. NICE AND COVERED   +SOME TO SOAK AND COOK IN)

  4. I like to put some garlic on it( press like 4 chunks)
  5. A dash of salt and pepper


Just cook to desired tenderness. Poke it with a fork youll be able to tell! I like mine more on the crunchy side 

[Gobble]

I put mine in a covered dish and a little water in the microwave

[rasbo]

steam its till its tender,then put butter on it

Blanch them and wrap five together in Prosciutto with a little olive oil and sea salt and pop them on the BBQ.

Asperagus is especially good on the BBQ generally its the best way, always use olive oil since its the light and healthy . Its helps if ya put in a spray bottle and coat the veggie's, it give's it an even coat. If your using woods for flavor as in maple, hickory, pecan, grape or whatever get ready for the explosion of flavor. If ya want to enhance the flavor for the taste palete the sprinkle with some garlic pepper, or roasted garlic with red pepper, or even lemon pepper and cajun mix. For a killer taste try Northwest Salmon Candy on it, the kids will even devour it, trust me when I say this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cut them up into 1 1/2" chunks.  In a pan I get some olive oil hot and pour in some minced garlic (I use the stuff you can buy in the jars at the store).  Let that get good and hot then put in the asparagus.  Let that cook until your about 5 minutes from your desired tenderness (some people like their asparagus crunchier than others) then cover it with parmesan cheese and cover the pan.  Let the parmesan cheese melt and then serve!!

1/4 of an inch of water in a frying pan high heat for  a couple of minutes and then on to a plate at some butter and salt.  use the same pan for your steak minus the water. one plate and one pan to clean when your done.

The only thing I liked about asparagus was pheasant hunting in the asparagus fields with my springer spaniel when I was a kid, we grew up on hundreds of acres of the crap and now I can barely stand it. My dad pickles it by the ton in a plant in Yakima Valley and I use the brine to soak tough cuts of meat in before cooking it to tenderize it.

A quick, hot braise on the BBQ grill. Before setting it on add butter, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Then, serve it with crumbled up pieces of bacon (that you've pre-fried) and hard-boiled eggs.
