Here’s a quick vegetable dish to whip together when you’ve got the grill going. The preserved lemon is an earthier alternative to brightly acidic lemon zest.

Method

Snap the woody ends off the asparagus where they break naturally. Trim the ends so that they’re even (or don’t, if you’re not feeling fussy).
In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of the oil, the salt, and pepper to taste.
