Instructions
In a food processor or blender, combine the egg yolks, vinegar, citrus juices and zest, honey, salt, pepper, and star anise. While the machine is running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream until the mixture is emulsified,
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the chopped hazelnuts for a garnish and process the rest briefly with the mayonnaise.
Remove the mayonnaise to a small bowl.
Brush the asparagus with olive oil and lay horizontally across the grill grates. This prevents them from falling through the grates.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roll the asparagus with tongs to grill them evenly, and dont be afraid to char them a little bit.
Cooking time depends on the thickness of the asparagus and the heat of the grill. Medium-thick asparagus takes about 6 minutes.
ON THE PLATE: Arrange the asparagus in bundles on plates. Drape some of the mayonnaise over each bundle.
Sprinkle the remaining chopped toasted hazelnuts over the mayonnaise and garnish with orange slices or wedges.
