Steps:
- Cut off about 2 inches off on the big ends, place them in a casserole dish drizzle them with the oil then add the rest and move the mixture all over the asparagus- Make sure they are thoroughly coated.
- Place on already pre-heated grill- preferably medium heat. They only cook for 5-6 min on each side (Only need to role them once while grillng).
- And serve immediately, so cook them last or while you cook your steaks. ( to me they are great even if they get cold).

Stir with a fork to combine then add chicken pieces and coat evenly. Grill chicken 12 to 15 minutes until juices run clear. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Trim asparagus of tough ends.

Once cooled, pat dry with paper towels, drizzle with a touch of extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Divide the asparagus into 4 piles and roll 2 layered slices of prosciutto around each pile to form bundles. Grill 7 to 8 minutes until prosciutto is crisp and spears are tender. Place basil and mint leaves in a food processor with the nuts. Add some salt and pepper and turn processor on. Stream in about 1/4 to 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil to form a thick pasty sauce.

Remove chicken from the grill and squeeze the juice of 1 of the zested lemons down over the meat while still hot.

GRILLED GARLIC ASPARAGUS
This is the way we prepared our asparagus this past weekend for Father's Day. My sis prepped it and I grilled it. It was very good; even the kids (the KIDS!) loved it. You will know the asparagus is done when the bushy tops turn just the littlest shade of brown. The asparagus should be soft with a little crunch on the...

Steps:
- 1. Wash asparagus and cut off a little of the bottom end to discard. Pat dry.
- 2. In a plastic container that has a tight lid to it (or a clean, dry plastic water bottle with cap), combine the olive oil, salt, garlic and pepper. Cover and shake until combined.
- 3. Before olive oil mixture settles, quickly pour over the asparagus. Turn asparagus to make sure it is all coated in the oil. You may not have to use all the olive oil; don't drown the asparagus in it. Just enough to coat. Too much soaking and the dripping asparagus oil will cause flames on your gas grill to shoot up and burn the asparagus.
- 4. (If you don't use the olive oil, save it to the side and use it as part of a dressing for a salad, or topping for making garlic bread...)
- 5. Wait about 5 minutes, then take asparagus out of the olive oil and onto a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess. Using tongs, arrange asparagus on grill across grates (so it doesn't fall through).
- 6. Close grill and let asparagus cook for 5 minutes, turning them once about halfway through.
