BBQ'd Asparagus with lemon drizzle

Here we go to the Farmers Market Grandma!

One of the best things about summer is having the beautiful weather to BBQ your entire meal and you don't ever have to turn on the oven or stove.

Kelsey, my favorite daughter-in-law is a master at the BBQ and she prepared the most delicious halibut burgers with roasted asparagus drizzled with her own lemon zest reduction. Seriously, so delicious on a hot Calgary night.  

Kelsey's Lemon Zest Reduction 

1/4 cup vinegar (we used champagne vinegar) 

Zest and juice of a lemon

Place the above ingredients in a small pan and bring up to the boil and reduce heat to a simmer.

Reduce until the liquid is a glaze consistency. 

Approximately 15-20 minutes.

Rinse off asparagus and pat dry. Trim asparagus by taking each asparagus spear in your hand and bend near the blunt end. This allows for a perfect break that removes the woody end. Discard the woody end.

Add 1/4 cup of olive oil to a large flat baking pan.

Carefully place washed and trimmed asparagus into the pan and role the asparagus in the oil and sprinkle with salt.

Turn the BBQ to high to burn off the char and then reduce the heat to 3/4's and grill asparagus until tender crisp. 

Remove from the BBQ and place the asparagus on a serving platter.

Drizzle with the lemon zest reduction and serve hot with your chosen protein.

Thanks Kelsey honey!
