Memorial Day is almost here, time to get out the grill if you haven't already! Asparagus is lovely grilled, perhaps as a nice accompaniment to some local pork chops or lamb.
Wash the asparagus and snap off the tough ends. You can grill it plain--a few minutes should do the job, turning it over once. But to make it a little more exciting, try painting it with one of these options:
1. olive oil and balsamic vinegar; add some garlic if you like
2. olive oil and red wine vinegar
3. olive oil and white wine vinegar; add some fresh tarragon if you like
4. sesame oil and grated ginger and/or minced garlic; add a little soy sauce as well if you like
For a different twist, put a cast iron frying pan on the grill and fry up a couple eggs while the asparagus cooks; serve several spears topped with a fried egg.
