    List of Ingredients




    2 1/2 pounds asparagus
    10 green onions
    2 red bell peppers cut into 20 strips
    1 cup finely chopped onion
    1 cup red wine vinegar
    1/2 cup water
    2 teaspoons sugar (or use splenda)
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon dried tarragon
    1 teaspoon dry mustard
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce , low sodium
    (original recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon salt )
    1/4 teaspoon pepper

    Recipe



    Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Cover and cook in a small amount of boiling water 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water; drain well.

    Trim white portion from green onions, and reserve for another use. Place green onion tops in a bowl; add boiling water to cover. Drain immediately, and rinse under cold running water.

    Gather asparagus into 10 bundles, and add 2 bell pepper strips to each bundle. Tie each bundle with a green onion strip. Place bundles in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.

    Combine chopped onion and next 9 ingredients (onion through pepper) in a bowl; stir well. Pour over asparagus bundles. Cover and chill 2 to 8 hours.

    —————
    Notes: Thin asparagus spears work best in this elegant side dish.

    To serve, remove asparagus bundles from marinade, and discard marinade. Arrange asparagus bundles on a serving platter.
