Grilled Asparagus
Rating : Not Rated

Why does asparagus make your pee smell weird? I don't know... but if you do add a comment to this recipe so that everyone can benefit from your genius.

Yield: 4
Prep time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Course: Side Dishes/Vegetables

Ingredients:
  • 30-40 Medium to Small Asparagus Spears
  • 1 Lemon
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions:

Cut one or two inches off the woody ends of the asparagus.

Zest the lemon and cut in half. 

In a flat dish (I like to use a roasting pan) place the asparagus, lemon zest, olive oil, juice from half the lemon, and salt and pepper.  Toss around to coat evenly and let sit for at least 20 minutes.

Toss again before throwing on a hot grill.  Cook until just starting to brown.

    A nurse friend of mine says that digesting asparagus produces an enzyme that you excrete, and that's what makes your pee smell - little known fact, some people don't produce that enzyme so are missing the thrill of asper-pee Cry - tragic.
