Prep some asparagus spears and lay them on a cookie sheet or broiler tray. Halve some cherry tomatoes and add them to the tray. Chop up a shallot and sprinkle it over the other stuff. Brush everything with olive oil, then salt and pepper. Broil on HIGH until the shallot starts to turn light golden and parts of the asparagus have browned.

ZOMG. I had some of this yesterday, as a side salad with a turkey sandwich. Today I tossed it with some leftover pasta. I'm sure grilling is *the* way to do this, but broiling works just fine.

All my Madison asparagus is gone.

Thanks for sharing! I think I'll give that a try after a trip to the farmer's market next weekend, along with a sprinkle (or handful) of some finely minced fresh garlic. I sometimes don't know when to stop if garlic is involved. *g*

I thought about adding garlic. It would be a nice addition.
