Grilled asparagus with Parmesan

Method

I love asparagus steamed but I also enjoy it grilled for an extra layer of flavour which pairs well with the saltiness of the parmesan cheese. A final drizzle of good aged balsamic vinegar really finishes it off.

Heat a ridged grill pan until searingly hot.

Prepare the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends and discarding.

Place the asparagus spears on the grill pan in a single layer – Do this in batches if necessary.

When the spears have browned nicely, they are done. They should still be crisp.

Lay on a serving plate and season well. Grate over the parmesan and finish with a drizzle of balsamic. Serve at room temperature.

Ingredients

50g organic Parmesan cheese
