GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH GORGONZOLA BUTTER
The Gorgonzola butter is heavenly, and I think I might just use any leftovers to butter a nice loaf of bread. I found this recipe on epicurious.com, and it originally came from Bon Appetit September 2000 by Allen Susser, Chef Allen's, Miami, FL. YUMMY! Serviing size is estimated because it was not listed.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH CAPER-CORNICHON VINAIGRETTE
Inspired by gribiche, the French sauce traditionally served with steamed asparagus, this salad takes a modern approach by grilling the spears then piling them on a platter with sliced hard-cooked eggs. The mustard vinaigrette, chock-full of cornichons and capers, preserves all the briny goodness of the original sauce.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS
Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are adapted from Elizabeth Karmel's Web site, girlsatthegrill.com . Grilling asparagus miraculously transforms it from the kind of vegetable you hated as a kid to a sweet, meaty, lip-smackin' treat that you can't get enough of as an adult. Contrary to popular belief, look for the fatter stalks when buying asparagus-they are much better suited to grilling and actually have better flavor. This is the least amount of work you will ever have to do to be considered the Queen or King of the Grill.

Steps:
- Trim off the tough bottom of the spear by grasping each end and bending it gently until it snaps at its natural point of tenderness-usually two-thirds of the way down the spear. If the spear is less than 6 inches long, chances are it has already been trimmed for you. Alternatively, you can cut the ends off with a knife.
- Coat each spear with olive oil by placing clean, dry spears in a resealable plastic bag, pour in the oil, and massage spears to coat each one. Sprinkle with salt and massage again. Leave the asparagus in the bag until ready to cook.
- Place on the cooking grate crosswise so it won't fall through. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes (depending on the size and thickness of the stalks), turning occasionally to expose all sides to the heat. Asparagus should begin to brown in spots (indicating that its natural sugars are caramelizing) but should not be allowed to char.
- Remove from grill and serve immediately-eating spears with your fingers enhances the experience.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus spears for grilling. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips.
- Trim the asparagus spears by removing the woody ends. You can do this by snapping off the ends or using a sharp knife.
- To prevent the asparagus from drying out while grilling, toss them with a little olive oil or melted butter before cooking.
- Grill the asparagus over medium-high heat until they are tender and slightly charred. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve the grilled asparagus immediately with gorgonzola butter, lemon wedges, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Grilled asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its slightly charred exterior and tender interior, asparagus is a versatile vegetable that can be paired with a variety of flavors. Whether you serve it with a simple lemon-butter sauce or a more complex gorgonzola butter, grilled asparagus is sure to be a hit.
