We make a lot of it in the summer on the barbecue - we lose pieces in the grate sometimes, so we have to be extra careful when turning so as not to lose even one spear! I&#39;m going to try grilling in the oven - the red onion sounds like such a great complement to the asparagus! Thanks for sharing this simple idea!Cathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11655696824602120690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288559412788750479.post-1296169851553058342010-02-21T11:40:44.243-06:002010-02-21T11:40:44.243-06:00Oooh yummy yum yum!

I usually just serve it over scrambled eggs.<br /><br />Thom,<br />That sounds really good...I like grilled asparagus too.<br /><br />Penny,<br />I&#39;ll email them to you sometime.<br /><br />Erika,<br />Let me know if you try it...and if you liked it.<br /><br />Lady Ren,<br />I must be in the group of people without the gene to be able to smell it. I totally agree with you about the Hollandaise sauce...whatever you eat with it tastes delicious.Bohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16316129383312008882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288559412788750479.post-22450123825549484302010-02-20T13:08:37.886-06:002010-02-20T13:08:37.886-06:00I agree with Jovan about the smell- But it is very healthy for you. I also love eating it like a french fry, usually after BBQing it. <br />I made a fantastic Hollandaise Sauce last week which I posted on my Vday blog entry. I thought it was the best I&#39;ve ever made cuz it had a distinct lemon taste but was not tart. Once you have a good hollandaise sauce whatever else you put with it is secondary.Lady Renhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14440340751455712080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288559412788750479.post-54954346018788292462010-02-20T09:50:56.566-06:002010-02-20T09:50:56.566-06:00I love asparagus and have not yet prepared it like this.

They marinated it in olive oil and balsamic vinegar and then grilled it. The balsamic gave it a slight sweet taste.<br /><br />Anyway, you have a great blog and I&#39;ll be back often to check out things!<br /><br />Best to you and your family!<br />ThomThomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02250750089550324841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288559412788750479.post-89531932302889872952010-02-20T05:01:51.870-06:002010-02-20T05:01:51.870-06:00i do the same I roastn them and drop eggs on it to have an omelette ; you should try !!! cheers from france PIerrepierrehttp://pierre.cuisine.over-blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288559412788750479.post-55953567097720539012010-02-20T04:57:20.063-06:002010-02-20T04:57:20.063-06:00i never liked eating asparagus from a can or even fresh ones. but this roasted kind makes me wanna try some :)..if you said it tasted like french fries :DAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13957022331062858139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288559412788750479.post-61007904112556270832010-02-19T22:31:13.807-06:002010-02-19T22:31:13.807-06:00Kenny,<br />I eat it at least once a week.<br /><br />Chef E,<br />I already went to the site.

And yes, I&#39;ve made my pee smell, haha. I ate like maybe 5 stalks with some onion dip and like 45 minutes later, I could smell a sweet/bitter smell, lol. It&#39;s really weird. We learned in my genetics class that everyone&#39;s pee smells after asparagus, but only 1/4 of people have the genes required to actually smell it. Make sense? It&#39;s weird, but so real! :P<br /><br />I make EB for brekkie sometimes, but I normally have it for brunch on like a Sat or Sun. Lemme know how you like it if you decide to try it!Jovan Gonzaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13512860265712936597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288559412788750479.post-11305529219222390252010-02-19T13:48:03.076-06:002010-02-19T13:48:03.076-06:00Waiting for the asparagus season to begin here, then may give these a go.mangocheekshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03602971207085826708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288559412788750479.post-90747108847528785102010-02-19T12:24:59.543-06:002010-02-19T12:24:59.543-06:00Oh asparagus is not an easy thng to cook, in my opinion!

I guess my invitation got lost in the mail...right?<br /><br />Jovan,<br />I&#39;ve heard that about asparagus, but my pee has never smelled funny...Has yours? I never make eggs benedict...I usually just throw asparagus on top of scrambled eggs, but your was sounds great...I will try it sometime...maybe for dinner...I don&#39;t have enough time in the morning for a lot of cooking.<br /><br />The key to good food pictures is in the lighting...Never ever use a flash.Bohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16316129383312008882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288559412788750479.post-52836042996158190402010-02-19T09:45:10.840-06:002010-02-19T09:45:10.840-06:00Visited this post just in time to put down the Girl Scout cookies and reach into the fridge to roast some asparagus for brunch, instead.

Too bad it makes your pee stink if you eat too much of it.<br /><br />Have you ever put roasted asparagus (maybe like 3 stalksish) on top of eggs benedict (made with pork tenderloin medallions instead of ham/Canadian bacon)? Trust me, it&#39;s just another delightful way of having asparagus. And it&#39;s also a way to jazz up eggs benedict. Makes people think they&#39;re having a fancy brekkie! :P<br /><br />PS: How do you get all your pictures to look so nice and appetizing!?Jovan Gonzaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13512860265712936597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288559412788750479.post-39669024755888174932010-02-18T21:19:31.696-06:002010-02-18T21:19:31.696-06:00Yum, I have a party on Sat, I think I will make this....sounds great;)Steven Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14861208638033636080noreply@blogger.com
