Ingredients

1 large red onion, in 1-cm / 1/2 -inch slices
8 large oyster mushrooms, each cut in 3 pieces
500 g (1 lb) asparagus spears, peeled
Extra-virgin olive oil, as required
Balsamic vinegar, to taste
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Parmesan cheese, shaved, to taste
8 leaves, green and red lettuce, torn in bite-size pieces

Directions

  1. Preheat the grill.
  2. Spear the onion slices on 2 crossed skewers to keep them in place, and put them on a platter with the mushrooms.
  3. On a work surface, line up the asparagus spears and separate them into 4 equal portions. Spear each portion with 2 skewers to make 4 little “picket fences.” Put them on the platter with the other vegetables.
  4. Brush the vegetables generously with oil and grill until done.
  5. Place the grilled vegetables on a serving platter and garnish with cheese.
  6. Serve with lettuce leaves and drizzle at the last minute with oil and vinegar.
