Grilled asparagus with gremolata

I make this grilled asparagus with gremolata all year round when I need a super quick side dish for a Sunday roast or a lazy weekend brunch/lunch (served with bagel). The recipe is vegan but feel free add some  prosciutto or Parmesan shaving. Here are some tips how to makezesty gremolata>>

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • Olive oil
  • Lemon juice
  • Gremolata:
  • ½ lemon
  • 1 handful parsley leaves
  • 1 clove of garlic

Method
 

  1. First make the gremolata.
  2. Rinse, then pat-dry and finely chop the parsley leaves.
  3. Grate the lemon rind and mince the garlic. Mix with the parsley. Season with salt and pepper and add some lemon juice - you should get a coarse paste.
  4. Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus, then rub with some oil. Heat a griddle pan (or BBQ in the Summer) and grill them for about 5 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
  5. Put the asparagus on a plate and rub them with the gremolata.
  6. Serve immediately.
