I'd like to try this soon. I also think this would work without the grill.![]() Grilled Asparagus with Bacon Vinaigrette Serves 4 to 6 4 slices bacon 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar 1 shallot, finely minced 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed 1 pound slender asparagus spears, woody ends snapped off Sea salt and freshly ground pepper In a large frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, 7-10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Reserve the rendered fat in the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, shallot, mustard, and thyme. Carefully pour the bacon fat through a fine-mesh sieve into a spouted measuring cup. Slowly whisk the bacon fat into the vinegar mixture until smooth and emulsified. Taste the dressing. If it is too strong, adjust with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon at a time. Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill, preheat a gas grill to high, or heat a grill pan over high heat. Pat the asparagus dry and put on a platter or in a baking dish. Drizzle with the 2 tablespoons olive oil and roll the asparagus in the oil until well-coated. Season with salt. Arrange the asparagus directly over the heat on the grill rack or place in the pan and cook, turning as needed, until nicely browned in spots on all sides without burning, 6-8 minutes. Crumble the bacon into small pieces. Arrange the asparagus spears on a plater, pour the dressing over, and scatter the bacon over the top. Top with a few grinds of pepper and serve warm. http://www.thekitchn.com/spring-grilling-recipe-grilled-asparagus-with-bacon-vinaigrette-recipes-from-the-kitchn-172598 |

Let me know how you like it. I had a meeting tonight and was gone for dinner. We're out of asparagus right now anyway, so I'll have to get some again for this. |

It looks good. It resembles the bacon wrapped asparagus that I've had. The two complement each other: the bland high fiber asparagus and the tasty high fat high salt of the bacon. |
