Asparagus - delicious. Usually we just steam and put butter and salt on
top, sometimes we grill.

One more vote for asparagus. Picked up a lovely batch today and then, of

Had some fun with asparagus for our Easter dinner,. It was pretty cool

Have you tried spraying a little bit of sesame oil on the asparagus when grilling? It makes a world of difference!

We use olive oil - are you using toasted or regular sesame oil?

The packaging says roasted sesame seed oil.
