For my recipe, I wanted to do some simple yet elegant asparagus. Often I will roast some asparagus with some garlic. But today I decided to do a gastrique. This is a sort of simple sweet and sour sauce made with citrus juice, sugar and a little vinegar. It is cooked until syrupy.
Poured over the asparagus spears, it is sort of like a sweet and sour citrus honey. Think of it as a somewhat homemade agrodolce sauce, albeit the gastrique is French whereas the agrodolce is Italian. They are very similar. And also easy, elegant and delicious. I am sure you will enjoy.

Roasting and grilling are my two favorite ways to prepare asparagus. This gastrique sounds like the perfect way to add some additional brightness and flavor.
My mouth is watering, Sue! Gorgeous asparagus and lovely flavors!
I don’t think I have ever made a gastrique. I need to fix that now.
I always hear the term gastrique on cooking shows and wondered what it was exactly. Now I know! Your asparagus is calling my name.
I love grilled asparagus and this looks so delicious.
