Give your grilled asparagus a flavor boost with this butter, which gets whipped with miso and mirin until silky. Fold in some grilled leeks and toss with the warm asparagus to fully coat with the flavor-packed butter.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill for medium high.
  2. Halve the leek lengthwise, then grill along with the asparagus over medium-high heat until tender, turning, 6 to 8 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, finely chop the leek.
  3. Beat the softened butter, miso and mirin with a mixer on medium-high speed until creamy; fold in the leek. Toss the asparagus with half of the miso butter and a pinch of salt. Transfer to a platter and top with the remaining miso butter.
