"Each vitamin rich and nutrient packed ingredient assists the body's bloodstream, digestive and cellular structure. The STIMULATION and NOURISHMENT of these plants in turn can be thought of us an APHRODISIAC because of these restorative qualities; which in turn restore cells and assist with creating an active libido."~Nebu The Herbalist

3 pounds medium asparagus
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic bulb, roasted and smashed
1 bunch parsley, roughly chopped
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 grapefruit, 5 lemons, 4 limes, 2 oranges
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roast garlic bulbs wrapped in foil for 30 minutes.
2. Trim the base away from the Brussels sprouts and discard. Cut the sprouts in half and spread on a baking sheet, cut sides down. Pour extra virgin olive-oil onto the baking sheet and tilt around to distribute evenly. Add the Brussels sprouts and toss until they are fully coated. Roast until the sprouts are crispy on the outside and golden and caramelized on the cut sides, for 30 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the zest and juice of grapefruit, lemons, limes, and oranges with honey to combine. Transfer citronette to a saucepan and reduce over medium heat for 15 minutes. Add chopped parsley after removing reduction from heat.
4. Grill the asparagus over moderate heat, turning often, until they are just tender for about 5 minutes total. Transfer the asparagus to a platter and drizzle with citronette dressing. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Cut hearts in half lengthwise and drizzle with olive oil. Place romaine hearts cut side down on the grill for about one minute until they have grill marks and the edges start to wilt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. In a blender or food processor, pulse the roasted garlic, avocados and lemon juice to combine until a smooth butter forms. Season with salt and pepper.
