Comments: The flat iron grill plate which the Spanish call a parilla is used for searing fish, shellfish, poultry, and wild mushrooms, producing a pure, clean, slightly metallic taste, ideal for many tapes.
In The Flavours of Andalucia, Elisabeth Luard describes a method of grilling asparagus which doesn't require blanching, calling the application of sizzling dry heat to fresh green asparagus "a stroke of genius." She goes on to say, "You will never want to cook it any other way; the flavor is incomparable.
The thick green asparagus are brushed lightly with oil and set on a warm griddle. The spears are then cooked till spotted black on all sides, then embellished with a sauce of minced cured ham, garlic, lemon juice, and oil.
