• course sea salt

Recipe

• 1 wash asparagus and cut off woody bottoms. wash and scrub the lemons since will be using the zest. using a microplaner or fine grater zest the lemons. be careful to only get the yellow skin and not the part underneath as it is bitter. cut lemons in half and juice. drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and about 1/2 the lemon juice. toss to coat well. grill, turning often until grill marks appear and slightly soft. just before serving drizzle with a little more lemon juice to taste and if you wish, a little more olive oil. sprinkle with lemon zest and course sea salt to taste.
