Grilled Asparagus

This is without a doubt our favorite way to eat asparagus when it is in season. It’s a fairly simple treatment for a vegetable that doesn’t really need a fancy recipe or sauce when it’s fresh and tender from the garden.

Liven this recipe up a bit by adding a clove of crushed garlic to the marinade, or some red pepper flakes.

    Tomorrow I’m sowing my first asparagus seeds. It will be few years until I will have harvest like this!
    They look very tasty… I’m hungry!

    I’m salivating now, villager. This looks — and sounds! — incredible.

  3. I adore grilled asparagus. I’ll have to try your recipe. I usually just grill mine with lemon juice, olive oil, and sea salt.
