Chargrilled pork leg with asparagus

This is a really good way to turn a cheap cut of meat into something special. In this recipe, we're going to get nice thin escalopes of pork from the leg, flavour them and prepare them so they cook quickly. You could also use chicken or even veal in the same way, if you fancy.
