My special grilled asparagus recipe: Grilled asparagus marinated in olive oil, my favorite italian spice blends, white balsamic vinegar and finely chopped garlic. Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes and then poke it at right angles through the low part of the asparagus stalks, threading ten or fifteen stalks onto one skewer. This makes it easy to turn on the grill. Sprinkle with kosher salt flakes and grill for five minutes or so, until it looks done and is marked with nice grill marks. Turn and grill for another five minutes or so. Enjoy the best grilled asparagus ever!
