Betsy's Asparagus & Mushroom Saute image

Somthing I made up the other night. It turned out tasty so I thought I'd share. This made 2 good-size servings that I served along with salmon. It could serve 3 with smaller portions. For the mushrooms, I used half a 10 oz. bag of the pre-sliced ones at the grocery store. NOTE: Don't overcook the asparagus, or it will be mushy and you won't like the dish.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 bunch asparagus (1 to 1-1/2 lbs)
2 tablespoons red onions, chopped
5 ounces mushrooms, sliced
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Cut 1 to 1/1-2 inches off the bottom of the asparagus spears, discard those pieces. Then cut the spears into 1 inch pieces with a diagonal cut.
  • Heat olive oil in medium sized pan, over medium high heat.
  • Toss asparagus and onion into the olive oil in the pan and stir to coat well.
  • Use salt and pepper to your liking.
  • Continue stirring, and when the asparagus and onion mixture sizzles, drop in the butter and stir it around so it melts, blends in and coats the aspargus mixture.
  • Now turn the heat down to medium or medium low (depending on your stove), cover the pan and let it simmer for a few minutes. Stir it a couple times and only cook until the asparagus turns a light green and softens a bit.
  • Now stir in the mushrooms, raise the heat back to medium high and cook (stirring) just until the mushrooms begin to shrink and soften.
  • TIME TO EAT!
