ASPARAGUS-MUSHROOM SAUTé WITH CREAM

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms to the pan in an even layer. Sear, stirring a few times, until the moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated and the edges begin to crisp, 1-2 minutes. (If the pan seems dry as the mushrooms cook, add remaining ½ tablespoon oil.) Add the shallots and thyme; stir to coat and cook, 1 minute. Add asparagus and a pinch of salt, and continue cooking until the asparagus are bright green and slightly soft, 1-2 minutes depending on asparagus size.
• Add sherry and swirl the pan until the liquid has reduced by ¾. Add heavy cream and let it reduce until it has thickened slightly, 2 minutes. Stir in one tablespoon of butter and one tablespoon of porcini butter, and continue sautéing until the sauce coats the vegetables, 1 more minute. Turn off heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary, and finish with lemon juice. Serve immediately. Porcini Butter: In a small saucepan combine mushrooms with just enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook on low heat for 45 minutes. Mushrooms should be soft, with a bit of liquid in the pan. Purée mushrooms and remaining liquid with butter until smooth. Transfer to a lidded container and refrigerate until ready to use. Porcini butter can be stored in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks and in the freezer up to 3 months.
