I roll fresh Asparagus in this Garlic Butter and put it on my Charcoal Grill in a screen basket. OMG! Learned this from Pappadeux's Restaurant. Garlic Butter 1/2 cup butter 1/3 cup olive oil 2-4 cloves garlic 1 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon dried oregano Directions 1In a small bowl melt butter in microwave. 2Using a garlic press, or food processor, mince and pulp garlic. 3You can use more or less garlic according to taste. 4Combine melted butter, basil, oregano, and garlic. 5Whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil. Don't overcook Asparagus. Sometimes I add a little chicken broth. Gayle
