Grilled Asparagus

This grilled asparagus recipe is simple, quick, delicious -- and one of my seasonal favorites. Many grocery stores and farm stands now have fresh, locally grown asparagus available. In the summer, my family and I try to grill and enjoy the outside as much as possible, and grilled asparagus makes a great accompaniment to the fish or poultry weíre cooking alongside. Yields: 4 servings.

1 pound fresh asparagus

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp dried parsley

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Cut off the lower fifth of the asparagus spear, wash, and set aside. Mince the garlic and mix with the olive oil, parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush the trimmed asparagus generously with the olive mixture and place the spears carefully on the top shelf of the grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, to desired tenderness.
