Marinated Asparagus
A simple marinade transforms Asaparagus into a lovely side or starter.
- Yield: 4-6 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound asparagus (choose thick stalks if possible.)
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 small clove garlic, crushed
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon oregano
Instructions
Cook Asparagus until tender crisp. (my favorite method is in the microwave.) Place in bowl and run cold water over until cool, or plunge into a bowl with ice and water. Drain well.
Mix lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes and oregano in a small bowl and pour over asparagus. Refrigerate from two to four hours to overnight.
Notes
- Use a small clove of garlic or the dressing will be very assertive.
- When olive oil is refrigerated, it may become thicker and hardened; simply bring up to room temperature.
