gorgonzola grilled asparagus

This is from the one and only BBQ I’ve ever been invited to at my boss' house. I’ve only known him for more than 20 years. What’s not to love about asparagus, butter, garlic and gorgonzola cheese?

Simple grilled asparagus is also quite good, and not as much of an indulgence--olive oil, Hawaiian salt and black pepper. 

A  bunch of  asparagus, trimmed
2T olive oil
1t chopped fresh basil
3 cloves garlic, minced
Hawaiian salt and black pepper
1/8 cup gorgonzola cheese

2T butter, softened to room temperature
Juice of a lemon

 Stir gorgonzola cheese, butter and lemon juice to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate. 

Whisk oil and basil together. Coat asparagus with mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until charred on all sides, turning occasionally. Top with a bit of Gorgonzola butter and serve.
