Photo: Creamy Tangerine Dressed Grilled Asparagus Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 pounds medium to small size asparagus, tough ends trimmed
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tangerines, zested and juiced
- A few small dashes hot sauce
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 1/2 bunch chopped basil leaves
Directions
Preheat indoor or outdoor grill to medium-high.
Pile asparagus onto a baking sheet and drizzle with some extra-virgin olive oil and season with some salt and pepper. Transfer to the grill and cook turning every now and then until the asparagus is well marked and is tender, about 5 minutes, depending on the size of your asparagus.
While the asparagus is grilling in a bowl combine the tangerine zest and juice with a little salt, pepper and a small dash of hot sauce. Add the heavy cream and whisk to aerate the cream. Remove the asparagus from the grill, top with sliced onion and basil and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature with the sauce poured over it.

Um, this dish is AMAZING, I don't know how it could ever receive less than 5 stars. It's such an interesting combination of flavors that I would never think of on my own, and it's impressed my entire family and circle of friends on countless occasions! After reading some of the other reviews, it's clear that people weren't satisfied because they either left out key ingredients, or couldn't get theirs to work, which makes sense - you have to get the recipe down perfectly or it won't be nearly as good. I've never had the curdling problem, and I've made this at least a dozen times. My suggestion is to combine the juice and cream - and to use plenty of hot sauce - with a whisk and whisk it hard for a few minutes. Skimping on the hot sauce, onion, or basil will probably just leave you disappointed - but I promise, together it's fantastic!

I could not get the tangarine juice to mix with the cream....is there a step I am leaving out? It looks so good but had to toss it because it curdled. Anyone else have this problem?

It was to cold to grill outside last night so I roasted the asparagus. This was delish and family ate it like they have never eaten asparagus before asking for seconds.
