Recipe # 4
Grilled Asparagus
Ingredients:
1 pound asparagus spears
1 cup olive oil
garlic salt
pepper
Preparation:
Rinse asparagus spears and snap off the root ends of the spears. Generously coat
spears with olive oil. I use a deep platter for this. Remove asparagus and
sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper to taste. Place over hot grill and cook
each side approximately 3 minutes or so. Don't overcook. Spears will turn a dull
green when overcooked, they should be hot but still crunchy.
