Lemon Vinaigrette

• 60ml fresh lemon juice
• 60ml olive oil
• 5ml castor sugar
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 500g thick asparagus
• olive oil

1 Prepare Lemon Vinaigrette Mix all the ingredients to form a smooth emulsion consistency and set aside.
2 Arrange the asparagus on a baking tray and brush with olive oil. Grill under a preheated element until just done, with the tips slightly browned.
3 Drizzle vinaigrette over and serve.
TIP You can also grill the asparagus in a skillet or ribbed frying pan until golden-brown strips form and they’re al dente. Asparagus cooks fast and wilts easily, and it’s easier to control the cooking process in a pan than in the oven.
