Parsley pesto compliments this asparagus dish perfectly.

Preparation time:
Cooking time: 3 minutes
Yield: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 large bunch of flat leaf parsley
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, woody ends removed
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Puree the parsley, cheese, almonds and oil in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt.
  2. Add a splash or two more of oil if needed to help the mixture puree.
  3. Store pesto in a small jar in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
  4. Preheat a grill to high. Toss the asparagus spears with a splash of olive oil and salt and pepper.
  5. Place on the hot grill, turning them as they begin to cook. They're done when they're slightly charred and tender.
