Grilled Asparagus and Beets
2 lbs summer beets mixed colours(1kg)
2 lbs asparagus
¼ cup fresh basil chopped roughly (60ml)
2 tablespoons olive oil(30ml)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar(15ml)
Salt and pepper to taste
Add summer beets to a pot of water. Bring to a boil and cook until the beets are tender. Drain the beets under cold running water. Slice them ¼” thick and place them on a baking sheet.
Snap the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle both the asparagus and beets with oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper.
Prepare the barbecue for direct grilling at high heat. Oil grill and place the beets on for 2 minutes per side and flip or until beets are caramelized. Place the asparagus on the grill and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes turning after 1 minute, depending on the size of the asparagus. Asparagus will turn bright green with golden char marks. Remove and serve hot.
