Grilled asparagus is an excellent side dish and can be prepared in many ways. Grilling asparagus spears is possible on a foil sheet or on a charcoal grill. You can also skewer them together. The thickness of the spears as well as the surface to be cooked will affect the cooking time. Grilled asparagus should be fork tender after about four to five minutes. Garnish the asparagus with lemon juice, parmesan cheese and garnish.
For grilled asparagus, start by threading two skewers through the stalk. This allows you to easily flip the asparagus. You can also put the asparagus in a grill basket. You should let it rest for at least three to four minutes before turning it over. Cook it for another two to three minutes.
Asparagus spears can have woody ends which should be trimmed. If asparagus ends are left on, they won't cook through. It is important to oil the grill with olive oil. Butter can cause the grill to burn. But, if you prefer the taste of butter, you can use it instead.
Before cooking asparagus, be sure to wash the asparagus well. This will get rid of any grit and sand that may have collected inside the stalk. Place the cleaned stalks on the grill. Make sure to turn them regularly for even cooking. You can serve the stalks with sauces and other toppings after cooking.
Grilled asparagus can be delicious and simple to prepare. The asparagus has a distinct smoky, charred taste. The asparagus can be grilled immediately or left at room temperature for one hour. Grilled asparagus is an excellent side dish for large parties or buffets. It can easily be doubled, tripled, and even quadrupled.
Grilled asparagus can be paired with any type of food. You can pair it with pork tenderloin or grilled fish. You can customize the dressings to your liking. It is a household staple. We love it so much that we usually grill it twice a week.
For the best results, make sure to cut the asparagus stalks off at the tough end. If the stems are thick, use a vegetable peeler to prep them. You can simply snap the stems off. After cutting off the stalks of asparagus, season it with olive oil. Season with salt & pepper. When the asparagus is ready, grill it until it's tender.
You can keep asparagus fresh for up 2 days in the fridge, but it is better to heat them up on the grill. Place your asparagus in a container with water to extend its shelf life. A few cherry tomatoes and balsamic wine can be added to grilled asparagus for a tasty touch. Parmesan cheese can be added to the dish for a finishing touch.

How To
How to make an omelet that is perfect
Omelets is one of my favourite breakfast foods. How can you make them perfectly? There are many recipes and methods I tried, but none worked. So today, I want to share some tips and tricks with you so you can make your own delicious and fluffy omelets every morning.
Before we start making omelets, let's remember that eggs are temperamental. You must get them fresh, organically, and keep them cold until you cook. The yolks and whites will not form properly if they aren't kept cold enough. This causes your omelets to look oddly colored. It is best to use room-temperature eggs if you are going to cook them right away.
Another tip is to separate your egg before adding it into the pan. You don't want any white to get mixed up with the yolk because this could cause the omelet to curdle.
You could end up burning the bottom half of the egg if the egg is added directly to the heat source. Instead, microwave the egg for 10 seconds before adding it to the pan. The microwave heat cooks the eggs just right without overcooking them.
Next, let's discuss mixing the eggs. Mixing eggs together is important. You need to beat them well. Turn the bowl upside down and grab the whisk to do this. Next, shake the bowl vigorously. By doing this, the egg is thoroughly mixed with the air in the bowl.
Now comes the fun part - pouring the milk into the mixture. Mix half of the milk with the eggs. Then fold the eggs in half into the remaining milk. Don't worry if there are still streaks of egg visible; these streaks will disappear once you flip the omelet.
After folding the eggs fold the pan onto medium heat. When the oil starts to hot, wait for the pan to cook. Once the oil begins to heat, add 1/4 cup butter and swirl the pan to coat it. Next, carefully open the lid and sprinkle salt into your pan. The salt will help to prevent the omelet's sticking to the pan.
Once the omelet has formed completely, cover the pan and let it set for a few minutes. Flip the omelet upside down or with a spatula. Cook the second side for a minute or so. Take out the omelet and place it in a bowl.
This recipe is best when used with whole milk. But, you can use skimmed milk as well.
