Smoky Grilled Asparagus

From Chef Nate Appleman (Food and Wine). I have made this delicious dish on the grill and on my cast iron skillet. It came out great with both.

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  good quality mayonnaise
• 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil

• 1  tablespoon  sweet smoked paprika
• 2  teaspoons kosher salt
• 1  teaspoon cumin seed
• 1  lb  thick asparagus, stalks peeled

Directions

1. Light a grill.
2. In a shallow dish, whisk the mayo with the oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt and cumin. Add the asparagus and toss. Let stand for 30 minutes.
3. Grill the asparagus over moderately high heat, turning, until tender and blistered in spots, about 6 minutes.
