Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a grill.

Place yogurt in a medium bowl. Use a fine grater to grate garlic and lemon zest over yogurt. Halve lemon and squeeze one half into yogurt. Add cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes and season with salt and more lemon juice, if needed. Stir to combine and refrigerate until ready to use.

Brush both sides of asparagus with oil and sprinkle with salt. Place asparagus spears on hot grill and cook until spears begins to char, about 2 minutes. Flip and grill opposite side until charred, about 2 minutes more. Transfer grilled asparagus to a platter and discard skewers.

To serve, spread yogurt sauce over a serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle with oil and top with asparagus. Garnish with peanuts and mint.
