Grilled Asparagus in an Alioli Lemon Sauce

This is a fabulous appetizer for when you have guests coming over. It's quick to prepare but yet looks super exotic.

Just start by placing the cleaned Asparagus onto a warm pan (medium) with no oil. Leave the Asparagus on the pan for about 1 minute until they start to burn a bit. Then you will want to drizzle a slight amount of olive oil horizontally onto the veggies. Add a sprinkle of sea/rock salt on top and just shift them around every few moments.

Cooking the Asparagus should take no longer than 5 to 7 minutes.

Ok now to the sauce. The Alioli Sauce can be made from scratch or by enhancing a store brought one. Since I am currently living in Spain, the alioli sauce here is to die for, so all I did was buy a fresh jar of it and added salt, 4 lemons, and 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a bowl and stirred it for about 4 minutes ferociously. When done add parsley to the dish and place the hot Asparagus right on top. Garnish the plate with one of the lemon wedges you used and Tadaaaaaa: another great dish!

Enjoy!
