One bunch of fresh Asparagus (typically the thicker the better since the Asparagus will shrink while cooking on the grill).

2 to 3 Pinches of sea salt to taste.
Fresh ground pepper to taste.
Two tablespoons of fresh lemon zest.

Steps:

Clean asparagus and trim ends, approximately two inches off the bottoms. Place asparagus in small baking dish and cover with truffle oil. Season with sea salt and ground pepper to taste. Marinate for at least one hour (can be made up to 8 hours in advance). Heat grill on medium to high heat. Place asparagus and cook for approximately ten minutes. Turn asparagus every few minutes to create even cooking. Remove from grill and lightly sprinkle with lemon zest. Can be served immediatly or chilled to serve in a salad or other dish.
