Betsys Asparagus Mushroom Saute Recipes

BETSY'S ASPARAGUS & MUSHROOM SAUTE

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!
