Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus trimmed
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves fresh garlic minced
- 4 tablespoon butter cut into tiny cubes
- Kosher salt to taste
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh squeezed
Instructions
- Get out and measure your ingredients.
- Preheat your smoker or setup grill for indirect grilling at 275°F.
- Wash and snap or cut off the woody stem from bottom of asparagus.
- Toss with olive oil and then lay the asparagus evenly in your pan. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top.
- Sprinkle butter cubes and garlic all over the top of the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the pan in your preheated smoker, or on the opposite side of the heat if you're using a grill. You need the asparagus to cook over indirect heat. Close the lid.
- Adjust your asparagus periodically with tongs as the butter melts to keep the asparagus coated in the butter. You'll be glad you did it.
- Smoke the asparagus for 35-45 minutes or asparagus is tender but firm.
- When the asparagus is done, remove from the hot pan so asparagus does not continue cooking.
- Place remaining butter and garlic sauce in a separate container and remove the pan from the heat. Plate the asparagus and drizzle with remaining sauce.
