Grilled Asparagus with Asian Peanut Sauce

• 2 small garlic cloves minced, or 1 medium clove
• 1 1/4 teaspoons ginger freshly minced or grated
• 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce, tamari
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 x salt and black pepper to taste
• 20 ounces asparagus tough ends snapped off, 1 1/4 pounds
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cilantro freshly and finely chopped or minced
• 2 small scallions, spring or green onions thinly sliced, white and green parts

1. Light a medium fire in the grill or preheat the broiler.
2. Add the garlic, ginger, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a medium bowl, whisk until well blended, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
3. Brush with 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon dressing to coat the asparagus lightly.
4. Grill the aspragus, about 6 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender-crisp and streaked with the light grill marks, or line up the spears in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and broil, setting the sheet about 4 inches from the top and rotating the spears once halfway through, until tender and browned in some spots, about 7 minutes.
5. Let cool for about 2 minutes.
6. Slice the asparagus into about 2-inch pieces.
7. Stir together the peanut buter, cilantro, and 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon water into the remaining dressing.
8. In a large platter or a large bowl, toss the aspragus with the dressing until well and evenly coated.
9. Place onto a serving platter, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, sprinkle with sliced scallions.
10. Serve.
