This simple recipe also works well with bell peppers, sliced summer
squash, eggplant, and green tomatoes.

Grilled Asparagus with Herb Butter

6 Tbs (90 ml) butter
1 Tbs (15 ml) finely chopped fresh tarragon, or 1 tsp (5 ml) dried
1 Tbs (15 ml) finely chopped fresh chives
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/2 – 2 lbs (675 – 900 g) asparagus, washed and trimmed

Combine the butter, tarragon, chives, salt, and pepper in a small
saucepan and heat over low heat until the butter is melted.  Toss
the asparagus in the butter mixture and grill directly over hot
coals until the asparagus are tender, about 6 to 8 minutes.  Return
the asparagus to the remaining butter mixture and toss to coat well.
Serves 4 to 6.
