Smoky Glazed Asparagus

I used this marinade of this recipe on other veggies as well. If you like you can substitute Mayonnaise with Sour Cream and you will get pretty much the same result.

Ingredients

  1. 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  2. 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  3. 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  4. 1 garlic clove, crushed
  5. 1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika
  6. 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  7. 1 teaspoon cumin seeds (I like to lightly crush them in a mortar pestle or coffee grinder)
  8. 1 pound thick asparagus, trimmed
  9. 2 tablespoon Mustard (gray poupon) or 2 tablespoon Black Mustard Seeds Crushed ** Added by me*** Not in the original recipe

Directions

  1. Light a grill. In a shallow dish, whisk the mayonnaise with the oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt and cumin. Add the asparagus and toss; let stand for 30 minutes.
  2. Grill the asparagus over moderately high heat, turning, until tender and blistered in spots, 6 minutes; serve.
