We're going camping this weekend and want to do asparagus on the grill. Any suggestions? Please! Thanks.

Personally I'd keep it simple, snap off the tough ends, coat them with a little olive oil, salt, pepper if you like. Once on the grill turn the spears every few minutes so the cook and brown evenly, they should be fork tender in about 7-10 minutes tops. Yum, food always tastes better when camping <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />

Thanks everyone. The "rafts" look like exactly what I'm looking for. I'm going for simple; olive oil, S&P and a squeeze of lemon right off the grill. Yum...

Kimmers, do you cook the asparagus beforehand?

I do the same but I do blanch then first for a few minutes and I also cook Brussel Sprouts the same way cut in half and blanch first... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/hungry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/hungry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/hungry.gif" alt="" />

sandypants said: Kimmers, do you cook the asparagus beforehand? Nope. The asparagus is raw which makes them crunchy. Super simple recipe and everyone seems to love it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

Twanger said: My wife does a nice summer asparagus recipe, but it's not grilled.
Blanch asparagus in boiling water & let them cool. Butter up a slice of prosciutto ham with some herb-flavored Boursin cheese spread & sprinkle with lemon-pepper. Wrap the prosciutto around the asparagus, cheese-side towards the asparagus. Chill and serve.
Ok to make 1-2 days in advance. That sounds sooooooooo good! I will have to try it!
