Background

Grilled, barbecued or griddled asparagus is super-easy to make and can be served with all sorts of interesting sauces. This version is made with a simple combination of soy, butter and grilled lemon juice and served with chilli. It's zingy and delicious - a perfect companion to grilled meat or fish.

Ingredients

250g asparagus (green)
30g soft butter or margarine
1 lemon, halved
1 Tbsp soy sauce
Half a red chilli

Instructions

Preheat the BBQ, grill or griddle pan.
Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus, discard these.
Cook the lemon and asparagus for 5-6 minutes until lightly charred (turning over the asparagus several times).
Mix the butter with the soy sauce. Slice the chilli into thin rings.
Put the hot asparagus in a serving dish, spoon over some soy butter, then squeeze the grilled lemon juice over.
Garnish with the chilli rings.
