Spring is here and with the flowers blossoming, comes asparagus season.__ You can find them all over at excellent prices. I love them in risotto, soup and, of course, grilled. For me, grilling is the best way to cook asparagus: easy, low calorie and flavorful.

The only thing you have to do is trim the white part of the stalk, rinse, dry and put the asparagus in a zipper bag or in a shallow dish, season them with olive oil, salt and pepper and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
My only suggestion: If you don't have a perforated grilling pan (like this one), run to get one. I guarantee you will love it!
Grilled Asparagus
Yield 4 portions
Ingredients:
2 pounds of asparagus, the white portion of the stalk trimmed
2-3 Tbs. of olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:
Wash the asparagus and dry them with paper towels.
Place the asparagus in a shallow dish, add the oil, salt and pepper and let them marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
Place the asparagus in a perforated grilling pan and grill them for 8 to 10 minutes, moving the pan so they don't burn.
You may like to slightly char your asparagus for flavor purposes.
