Balsamic Glazed Asparagus - Low GI Diet Recipe
This is a very quick and easy sidedish that tastes like fancy restaurant fare.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus, thoroughly rinsed and tough bottoms (about 1") cut off
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Place asparagus in baking dish. A
bread loaf pan works well. Pour vinegard over asparagus and swirl to
coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Place oil, 4 TB vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and
thyme (if using dried) to a small container with a tight lid
and shake well.
- Yes, that's all :-)
Serves 4
Recipe Notes
- Baking the vinegar will concentrate it more and make it somewhat
sirupy, which really brings out the taste. You can boil the vinegar
down a bit before using (6 TB boiled down to 3TB) to intensify.
