Techniques
  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 1 whole zest
  • 1 tbsp rosemary
  • sugar
  • salt
  • orange juice
  • lemon juice
  • orange zest
Zest the citrus into thin julienne strips; add a little sugar and salt, orange juice and lemon juice, and press it in. Let it sit; overnight is ideal and makes the zest almost transparent and tender.
  • olive oil
  • salt
Season the asparagus with a little olive oil, a good amount of salt and fresh cracked black pepper; toss to coat evenly.
  • fresh cracked black pepper
Grill the asparagus, in batches if the grill is not big enough, about 30 more seconds before turning the batch.
  • loose parsley
Toss the grilled asparagus with the zest mixture, rosemary and shredded parsley.
Finishing with herbs and plating
Plate with the spears all facing the same direction.
