Easter Dinner 2008: E's Grilled Asparagus (Made by Mitch)

E actually requested asparagus as the vegetable for Easter dinner this year. My E. Requested. Asparagus. The end must be near.

Grilled Asparagus: E's Way (as Made by Mitch)

Olive oil
Young asparagus
Sea salt
Pepper, freshly ground
A splash of balsamic vinegar

Trim the asparagus of the tough ends. Lightly coat the asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and freshly ground pepper. Heat a grill pan on the stove (or the grill). Place the asparagus in a single layer crossing the raised parts of the pan diagonally. Cook for 2 minutes on each side.

I was going for some grill marks on the asparagus, but ended up kind of sauteeing it more than grilling it. But you get the idea.
