Grilled Asparagus Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Asparagus

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Trim the ends of the asparagus and place them in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat.

   Grill the Asparagus

   Place the asparagus on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred. Remove from the grill and drizzle with lemon juice.

   In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until pale and slightly thickened. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Slowly whisk in melted butter until the sauce is thick and creamy. Stir in lemon zest and cayenne pepper. Season with salt to taste.
