Some More Tips and Ideas:
1. You could ….marinate asparagus in sesame oil, soy sauce and fresh chilli before, this gives an oriental twist.
2. How about this for a summer barbeque? ….why not spread a little goat’s cheese on a slice of salami and wrap around some asparagus spears, then roast in a hot oven for a perfect accompaniment to a summer BBQ.
3. You’re a vegetarian …how about replacing the Parmesan for vegetarian Cheddar.

Lemons are very versatile when cooking and just a little juice or zest can make such a difference. Nice recipe idea :)
