balsamic asparagus

I know I have already posted a recipe for balsamic grilled asparagus, but last night the grill wasnt fired up (we have charcoal and it takes more prep...) so I tried a different approach....
from recipezaar.

INGREDIENTS:
1 bunch fresh asparagus (stalks all about the same size)
1 tbsp olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp (or more) balsamic vinegar
parmesan cheese (optional)
dash hot pepper flakes (optional)

1. prepare asparagus by washing and snapping off the tough ends
2. heat oil in frying pan
3. Add asparagus to the pan and keep it moving around for 3-5 minutes (or longer if softer veggies are desired) until it changes color. Add balsamic vinegar, freshly ground black pepper (and hot pepper flakes if desired)
4. Remove from heat and cover for a few minutes to let the flavors meld.
5. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese before serving if desired.

Balsamic Grilled Asparagus

Grilled Balsamic Asparagus

from Recipe Zaar

Ingredients -serves 4

1 lb fresh asparagus

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

2-4 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon kosher salt

fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Snap off tough ends of asparagus and wash well through 2-3 changes of cold water.

2. Combine all ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag, seal and marinate for 30-60 minutes. (I actually poured it into a large cup and placed the asparagus spears upside down in the cup to marinade)

3. Preheat grill on high heat.

4. Remove asparagus from bag/cup and place on preheated oiled grill rack.

5. Grill 5 minutes on each side or until asparagus is done.

6. You can either discard the marinade or place it in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil, reducing it down for a while and spoon over asparagus before serving.
