Then, treat the asparagus like flowers.
Trim about a half inch from the bottom of each stalk and refrigerate in a container of water.
This will keep the stalks fresh for 2 or 3 days.
Place in a plastic bag, and store in your refrigerator’s vegetable drawer.
Thin spears will dry out before they get a good char.
Coat them with olive oil and sprinkle salt over them.
Brush the grill grates lightly with olive oil.
(Alternatively, you’re free to use a grill pan, heat on high.)
Remove from grill and serve.
