Grilled Bacon and Asparagus Recipe

March 11th, 2009 at 08:27am Under easy grilling recipes+ vegetables

With spring just around the corner we thought the Spring Ingredient Recipe Contest would be just the chance to share one our most well-liked foods. This is a simple side dish that goes well with other grilled vegetables or meats.

Rate this recipe and see reviews here!

Ingredients

1-2 lb. asparagus
1 lb. thick sliced bacon - 1 pound
sea salt

Directions

Gently wash asparagus and snap into bite-sized pieces, about 1 1/2 - 2 inches long. Discard the pithy ends. Steam the asparagus for up to 3 minutes. Any longer makes it mushy and hard to work with. Cool it quickly by immersing it in ice cold water. Drain thoroughly.
