grilled asparagus

Billy and I love asparagus, especially since it's often hard to find in Europe.  These ones here are wild asparagus, hand-picked by my Dad.  They are beyond delicious.  So sweet and fresh you can just eat them raw, but we mostly like to grill them on the barbeque.     

 Voila!  Perfectly grilled thanks to Billy.

You will need:
asparagus

olive oil

fresh ground pepper

salt

……………………………………..

Snap woody ends off asparagus (unless they are wild and in that case, do not have woody ends to snap), rinse and dry.  Place remaining stalks in shallow dish. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, salt and freshly ground pepper; mix to coat asparagus.

Place asparagus on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning occasionally until tender-crisp, about 6 minutes.

(A big thanks to my Dad for picking asparagus for us, yet again!  They are always such a treat and we truly appreciate it, especially because it is tick season.)
