Grilled AsparagusRomulo Yanes
Asparagus is a star of the season, as a side dish to any main course — chicken, fish, pork, beef, or lamb — or as a salad topped with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Active time: 15 min Start to finish: 30 min
Cooks' notes:
• The parallel skewers make it easier to turn the asparagus. • If outdoor grilling isn't an option, asparagus may also be grilled in a well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.
