| Author Notes: | Grilling really brings the flavor of asparagus to a new dimension. You can make this recipe any number of ways, depending on the flavors you prefer. Use olive oil with pine nuts for a Mediterranean inspired dish, sesame seeds and sesame oil for some Asian flair, toasted hazelnuts and hazelnut oil for a rich, exotic flavor or even walnuts and walnut oil. The fresh lemon juice goes well with all of these variations for a dish that tastes complex but is easy to prepare. While this recipe also works well with broccoli or long green beans, thin stalks of asparagus are my favorite. |
| Ingredients: |
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed
2 tablespoons oil 3 tablespoons toasted nuts or sesame seeds (see note above) juice of 1 lemon salt and pepper to taste |
| Instructions: |
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Toss trimmed asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil and grill until tender, turning occasionally - about 10 minutes. Remove asparagus from grill. Heat remaining oil in a heavy skillet, add nuts, lemon juice and grilled asparagus. Toss to coat and cook for about 1 minute, until heated through. Serve immediately. |
