Grilled Asparagus with Zesty TABASCO® Green Butter
If you’re looking for the perfect side dish, try this grilled asparagus drizzled with a spicy TABASCO® green butter. It’s the perfect addition to your next BBQ feast.
Ingredients:
3 bunches (450g) asparagus
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
75g salted butter
1 – 2 tablespoon TABASCO® Green Jalapeno Sauce
A fine grating of parmesan to finish (optional)
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Method:
Preheat the BBQ on high.
Snap the bases off the asparagus and place in a heatproof bowl. Pour boiling water from the kettle over them and wait for 1 minute until the colour changes.
Drain the spears well, then let them steam dry. Toss asparagus in oil and a pinch of salt flakes and reserve.
Pop the asparagus across the griddle plate to char and absorb the residual meaty flavours from anything else you’ve cooked for 2 minutes a side, until crisp yet tender with fetching char marks.
Place the asparagus on a lipped platter in a warm place.
Make zesty TABASCO® green butter, by placing the butter in a small pan and popping on the BBQ. When the butter has melted and is starting to foam, keep heating it through, until the milk solids on the bottom of the pan starts to change colour to a toasty brown, then add in the TABASCO® Green Jalapeno Sauce, take off the heat and give it a swirl to combine and to stop the cooking process. Pour over the asparagus and, using a microplane, grate over the parmesan (if using), serving with lemon wedges for extra zip.
Enjoy!
