The best grilled asparagus topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch medium asparagus (about 350 g)
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 1/4 cup)
- 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 2 tbsp crumbled feta
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh mint leaves
Preparation:
- Preheat the grill to medium heat. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus (about 2 cm) and peel another 2 cm of skin off the stalks.
- In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add the asparagus and toss to coat well.
- Place the asparagus on the grill grate at an angle to prevent the spears from falling through. Grill, turning halfway through, until the asparagus begins to brown, the pointed ends are crisp, and the spears are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter and top with feta and mint.
