Fabulous, and very pretty in presentation. I tripeled this recipe and used a grill basket to contain the asparagus and flip all at once on the grill. I also cut the ends off lemons and then cut them in half, brushed with canola oil and placed on grill near the basket, grilling just until marked. I placed the asparagus in the center of a platter and the grilled lemons all around for squeezing and it was a big hit.

I prepared this recipe for my book group (doubled the ingredients) and forgot to put in the lemon juice. They all asked for the recipe, so with or without lemon juice, it's a hit. Very easy to prepare. I supplemented the asparagus with fresh green beans and roasted the whole concoction for the same length of time. You can freeze the marinade in the gallon-sized freezer bags I used this time in order to marinate other vegetables at a later date.

Mmmm, I really loved this and so quick to put together! I used a good balsamic vinegar from Modena and the only change I made was to use ketjap manis instead of the soy sauce which added a touch of extra sweetness. I cooked on a gas grill for around 10 minutes but gave it a few extra turns to keep it cooking nice and evenly.
