Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
-
2
tablespoons olive oil
-
2
bunches asparagus, ends trimmed
-
Kosher salt
-
1/2
cup crème fraîche
-
1-2
tablespoons grated horseradish
-
2
tablespoons lemon juice
-
zest from 1/2 a lemon
-
freshly ground black pepper
-
1/4
cup chives, chopped
Directions
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- Toss asparagus with olive oil and a generous pinch of Kosher salt. Place asparagus in a grill basket (or directly on the grill if the spears are large enough) and cook, turning occasionally, until asparagus is tender and slightly charred, about 5-8 minutes.
- On the stove, heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Place asparagus spears into skillet, working in batches, and season generously with Kosher salt. Cook, turning occasionally, until asparagus is tender and slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes. Repeat with remaining batches.
- In a small bowl, whisk together crème fraîche, horseradish, lemon juice, lemon zest, and freshly ground black pepper, and ½ the chives. Drizzle over asparagus spears and top with remaining chives.
