Instructions
Finely grate the cheese and spread it on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
Peel the asparagus, blanch them for 3 minutes in salted water, then plunge them in ice water to cool. Drain and set aside.
Slice the mushrooms into fine strips.
In a bowl, mix together the oil, water, lemon juice, salt and pepper and toss with the mushrooms. Set aside.
Moisten the asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus, taking care to let them develop charred lines from the grill. Place them on a small baking sheet and cover with grated Cheddar. Place the sheet on the barbecue grill and close the cover for 1 to 2 minutes.
Place the mushroom salad in the centre of 4 plates. Arrange 3 asparagus on each salad.
