Grilled Asparagus and Red Onions with Parmesan and Balsamic Vinegar

Serving Size: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • ¾ lb asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 small Italian eggplants (sliced into ¾ inch thick rounds)
  • 6 wooden skewers (8 inch long) soaked in water
  • 1 large red onion, cut into four ¾ inch thick slices
  • 1 tbs Filippo Berio Olive Oil (for brushing and grilling)
  • 2 cups of baby spinach, washed and dried

Vinaigrette:

  • 1/3 cup Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan shavings, shaved with a vegetable peeler from a ¼ pound piece
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • ½ tbs minced garlic
  • ½ tbs minced shallots

Cooking Instructions

Divide asparagus into 2 bunches. Align each bunch in a flat row with ends at the same level. Thread 2 skewers crosswise through each bunch in lower third of stems, where thickest, to form a solid mat. Thread remaining 2 skewers horizontally through onion slices, 2 per skewer. Rinse eggplant in a colander with tbs kosher salt. Pat dry with towel. Brush asparagus, eggplant, and onions with 1 tbs regular olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

To Make Vinaigrette:

In a glass Bowl combine Balsamic vinegar, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, and shallots; mix well. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking.

Grilling:

Preheat grill. Grill eggplant, onions, and asparagus uncovered, on a lightly oiled rack (using regular olive oil) over moderate heat, brushing occasionally with 1 tbs regular olive oil turning, until tender, 8-12 minutes total.

Remove vegetables from skewers and drizzle with vinaigrette. Top with baby spinach and sprinkle with Parmesan shavings.
