GRILLED ASPARAGUS SPEARS

Giorgio Celmo

The grill-and a dash of roasted garlic oil-give the asparagus terrific flavor

without adding much fat.

4 cups water

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 1/2 teaspoons roasted garlic oil or olive oil

1 1/2 pounds large asparagus, trimmed

2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Combine water, olive oil and

roasted garlic oil in large bowl. Add asparagus to water mixture and toss

to coat. Let stand 5 minutes. Drain. Season with salt and pepper.

Grill asparagus until crisp-tender, turning frequently, about 6 minutes.

Transfer to platter. Sprinkle with parsley.

6 Servings.
