This grilled asparagus takes about ten minutes from start to finish, and the combination of charred spears, bright lemon zest, and salty Manchego is quietly brilliant. It works alongside pretty much anything coming off the grill — a great one to have in your back pocket for summer entertaining or a midweek dinner when you want something a little bit special without a lot of effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500g asparagus, woody ends snapped off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 tbsp olive oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZest of 1 lemon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 tbsp fresh lemon juice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50g Manchego cheese, finely grated or shaved with a vegetable peeler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMethod\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreheat your gas grill to a high heat — you're looking for around 220–230°C at the grates.
