Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 15 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Prepare first of all all the ingredients that you will need. The number of all components in the recipe is specified randomly. I used basil and garlic oil, you can take the usual vegetable, olive or rapeseed oil.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    At the base of the asparagus, cut off the thick stalks about 1.5-2 centimeters. Rinse the asparagus under running water and dry with paper napkins.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    It will be more convenient to marinate the stalks in a deep wide vessel. I used a glass baking dish. Put the asparagus in a mold, pour oil on top (you can pour a little more oil or, conversely, a little less), add a little salt.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Next comes the turn of spices and seasonings. You can take absolutely any of them, adjust the amount to your taste as well. This time I used garlic powder, red sweet ground paprika and dry basil.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Gently mix all the stalks so as not to break them with a spoon or with your hands. I mixed with my hands in rubber gloves, very convenient and fast.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Along with asparagus, you can fry other vegetables on coals, such as zucchini, champignons, cherry tomatoes, etc. This time we decided to supplement the asparagus with sweet pepper. It was also doused with oil and sprinkled with spices.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Leave the vegetables to marinate for literally 5-10 minutes.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Light the grill and wait until the firewood burns out. Send the asparagus with a pair of tongs or a fork to a grill heated on coals.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Fry the vegetables for about five minutes on the grill. After a while, turn the asparagus with tongs so that it is evenly cooked.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    When an appetizing ruddy crust appears on the vegetables, it means they are ready. Usually it does not take much time to fry asparagus and other vegetables (it took me about four to five minutes). Readiness can be checked by piercing the asparagus at the base with the tip of a knife.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Asparagus is ready, you can serve it to the table!

Cooking time on coals depends on what heat is in the grill. If you have younger asparagus stalks (and they are much softer and more tender in their raw form than more mature ones), then the cooking time may decrease.
Mature stems will take a little longer to prepare.

Such asparagus is very tasty both hot and cold!

Bon appetit!
