4th of July BBQ ideas!
A rich balsamic glaze is the perfect way to take your next BBQ to the next level. Among our balsamics, is our 25 year and a 15 year. Typically a 25 year is much sweeter in taste, and has a ton of flavor; you only ever need a few drops!
Grill Asparagus Recipe
Out here in California, one of the biggest signs that summer has arrived is seeing fresh asparagus in the grocery store! Our very own Tasha Cohn has a delicious recipe for grilled asparagus with our Meyer Lemon Olive Oil:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound large asparagus, woody ends trimmed
- 3 tbsp B.R. Cohn Meyer Lemon Olive Oil, plus more for drizzling
- ¾ tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
- ½ lemon sliced
Directions:
Preheat grill to Medium.
Combine asparagus with Meyer Lemon Olive Oil, salt, and pepper and toss to coat.
Place asparagus on the grill in a single layer and cook, turning, until marked and tender. About 12 to 15 minutes.
Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with Meyer Lemon Olive Oil and garnish with sliced lemon.
