Green asparagus with balsamic vinegar is always delicious! Asparagus can be steamed, baked, pan-fried, or grilled. In this recipe, I’ve chosen the simplest method that requires minimal equipment—just a saucepan. A very light sauce with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
Enjoy asparagus as a starter or as a side dish for meat, fish, or eggs…
Green Asparagus with Balsamic Vinegar
White asparagus is prepared and served in the same way. Adjust the cooking time according to its size.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch green asparagus
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Peel the asparagus using a vegetable peeler and cut off the tough ends of the stalks.
- In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil and add the asparagus. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on their thickness.
- Meanwhile, mix the balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a small bowl.
- Check the asparagus for doneness with the tip of a knife. When they are cooked to your liking, plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking, then drain them.
- Place the asparagus on a serving dish, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with the sauce.
