Ingredients:
- Wooden toothpicks or bamboo skewers
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- Salt and black pepper
In a shallow pan, soak skewers in cold water for 1 hour, then
drain and set aside.
Preheat grill to high. Snap off the woody bases of the
asparagus and discard. Skewer 4 or 5 asparagus spears together, using the
toothpicks or 2 bamboo skewers, forming a raft shape.
In a small bowl, combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, and
garlic and stir with a fork to mix. Brush this mixture on the asparagus
rafts on both sides. Season the asparagus with a little salt and lots of pepper.
When ready to cook, place the asparagus rafts on the hot
grate and grill until nicely browned on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes.
Sprinkle with the sesame seeds as they grill. You can serve the asparagus
as rafts or unskewered.
