This is unbelievably simple - and outstandingly delicious!Trim and wash the asparagus; place in a shallow dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper over the asparagus. Toss to coat with oil and seasoning. Place on BBQ grill and cook for about 4 - 5 minutes, depending upon how "done" you like your asparagus.
Clean a sweet onion and cut into 1/2" rounds. Place onion rounds on cookie sheet. Drizzle one side with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place oiled side down on grill; brush a little oil on top side, and brush with balsamic vinegar. Turn once, after about 4 -5 minutes; brush other side with balsamic vinegar. If you turn the onions too many times, they begin to fall apart.
Note: The Proud Italian Cook (click here to visit her fabulous blog) suggests running wooden skewers through the onions to keep them together. I didn't have any wooden skewers the day we did this, tried metal skewers - but they kept breaking through the onion.
These are a succulent addition to any meal. We've had asparagus prepared this way four times in the past week! Delish!
