Grilled asparagus and corn from the Big Green Egg are incredibly popular as a side dish. But did you know that these vegetables also make a great base for a delicious snack to prepare in your kamado? In this recipe, we have given the vegetables a tasty twist by wrapping them with bacon before grilling, and, as a bonus, you will also be serving a tasty dip.
Ingredients
Vegetables
- 10 green asparagus spears
- 10 fresh baby corns
- 20 long slices of streaky bacon
Dip
- 100 ml mayonnaise
- 1 tsp sriracha sauce
IN ADVANCE
- Light the charcoal in the Big Green Egg, and heat with the Cast Iron Grid to a temperature of 220 °C. Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to the boil, and prepare a bowl of ice water. For the vegetables, remove the hard ends of the green asparagus.
- Add the asparagus to the boiling water, and blanch for about 1 minute. Scoop them out of the pan with a slotted spoon, then plunge them in the ice water to cool and drain well. Blanch the baby corns the same way.
- Wrap each asparagus and baby corn in a slice of streaky bacon.
- Mix the ingredients for the dip, and divide the dip between ten tall shot glasses.
METHOD
- Place the bacon-wrapped asparagus and baby corns on the grid, and close the lid of the EGG. Grill the vegetables for 2-3 minutes. Turn the vegetables over, and grill for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the vegetables from the EGG, and leave them to cool to lukewarm or room temperature. Both are incredibly delicious!
- Stick a grilled asparagus and a grilled baby corn into each shot glass.
