Grilled Bacon wrapped Asparagus & Lemon


1 packet Fresh Asparagus stalks
1 packet Streaky Bacon
1 x 20x20x3cm Salt Block (Heated)
Black pepper to taste (I prefer using a pepper grinder, as the flavour of pepper is far more fresh)
1 fresh Lemon
2 whole wheels fresh Lemon
  1. Heat your Salt block.
  2. Sprinkle water on salt block, if it sizzles and evaporates immediately, it is ready to be used.
  3. Wash the asparagus stalks gently under cold running water.
  4. Gently peel the outer layer of the asparagus stalks using a potato peeler.
  5. Wrap the asparagus stalks with the streaky bacon. 1 strip of bacon per stalk. Set aside.
  6. Place the bacon wrapped asparagus stalks on the hot salt block.
  7. Cut the whole lemon in half and gently squeeze some juice over the asparagus.
  8. Place the 2 lemon wheels on top of the wrapped asparagus stalks.
  9. Cook until the bacon becomes slightly crispy and golden brown in colour.
  10. Flip the asparagus stalks over. Gently squeeze a little more lemon juice over the stalks and place the 2 lemon wheels back on top.
  11. Cook until the bacon becomes slightly crispy and golden brown in colour.
  12. The asparagus stalks should be slightly soft to the touch, but still "al dente" (soft with a crunch).


Serve to your guests or enjoy just for yourself.
