Ingredients

  • lb asparagus fresh
  • tablespoons butter 
  • 0.3 cup cashew pieces chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper 
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 

Equipment

  • grill
  • aluminum foil

Directions

  1. Heat gas or charcoal grill.
  2. Cut 18x18-inch sheet of heavy-duty foil. Break off tough ends of asparagus as far down as stalks snap easily.
  3. Place asparagus on center of foil. Top with butter, salt and pepper.
  4. Bring up 2 sides of foil over asparagus so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
  5. Place packet on grill over low heat. Cover grill; cook 10 to 15 minutes, rotating packet 1/2 turn after 4 minutes, until asparagus is tender.
  6. To serve, cut large X across top of packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape.
  7. Sprinkle with cashews.
