Method:
- In a small mixing bowl combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, mint, garlic, pomegranate and a pinch of salt. Place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Trim ends off of asparagus (approx 3-5cm off to get to the softest part). Lightly coat spears with olive oil and cook on medium heat over a grill pan or on your grill until seared to your preference. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and pepper. Cut into 1cm pieces.
