Grilled Asparagus with Balsamic Glaze

You need:
some fresh asparagus
a lemon, zested and juiced
some olive oil
1 clove of garlic, minced
balsamic vinegar
kosher salt
pepper

Directions:
1. mix together 1/2 to all of the lemon juice (depending on the size of the lemon and your taste), some olive oil (a few Tbsp) and the minced garlic 2. Thread your asparagus onto skewers and brush with the lemon mixture, sprinkle with salt and pepper 3. Add some balsamic vinegar (around 1 1/2 cups) and the lemon zest to a pan and reduce it over medium heat until it becomes the consistency of a glaze 4. Grill your asparagus and drizzle the balsamic glaze over it before serving.

Note: Be careful when reducing the balsamic that you don't get it too thick, or it will become the consistency of tar and have a bitter taste once you remove it from the heat (not that I've done this or anything)
