I just concocted this in my head last night. I was able to get some fresh asparagus on sale at the store, and this turned out to be a tasty treat along side the salmon I had cooked! Ingredients:
3 tbsp olive oil |
1 tbsp butter |
1 bunch asparagus spears (trim 1 to 1 1/2 inches off the bottom) then cut into 1 inch pieces with diagonal cuts. |
2 tbsp chopped red onion |
5 ounces mushrooms, sliced (1/2 of a bag of pre-sliced ones) |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Over medium high heat, pour olive oil into medium sized pan.
2. Stir in the asparagus pieces and the onion. Get them good and coated.
3. When it starts sizzling, drop in the butter and stir all around until it melts in.
4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to your liking.
5. Cover and reduce heat to medium or medium-low (depending on your stove)
6. Simmer, stirring freequently, for a few minutes - just until the asparagus turns a bright green and softens somewhat. (take one out and eat to sample doneness)
7. Now stir in mushrooms.
8. Turn heat back up to Med-high and saute with the mushrooms, just until the mushrooms soften and start to shrink.
9. SERVE!
10. This dish made a good size side dish for 2 people. Could feed 3 if used smaller portions.
11. ~~NOTE: don't overcook the asparagus, it will be too mushy and you won't like the dish~~
