Ingredients:

  • 2 bunches of green asparagus
  • 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese + extra for serving
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 0.5 cups toasted pine nuts
  • Special equipment: lattice stand

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the rack, feet up, on the grill grate.
  2. Toss the asparagus with 1/3 cup olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste. Grill the asparagus, turning frequently to ensure even browning, for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the cheese, lemon zest and juice, a little salt and black pepper to a bowl and stir. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil to create an emulsion.
  4. Place the asparagus on a serving platter. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with pine nuts and pecorino cheese.
