Asparagus Sauteed with Mushrooms



The Spring 2012 edition of Cooking Club has a couple of pages dedicated to asparagus. In a little blurb under "6 More Quick Sides", it is suggested to have asparagus sauteed with mushrooms. They recommended adding a splash of soy sauce and rice wine vinegar before tossing with cashews. Planning on having apricot-lime chicken, the Asian twist didn't excite me, but the idea of sauteed asparagus and mushrooms sounded like a good idea.

2 tbsp butter
1/2 lb asparagus, trimmed and halved
4 oz button mushrooms, quartered
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste



Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet; heat until hot.


Add asparagus and mushrooms, tossing occasionally over 5 minutes or until asparagus is bright green and mushrooms just tender.


Salt and pepper to taste; serve.


A very quick recipe to prep and complete, done in just a few minutes, it perfectly illustrates how the best sides aren't necessarily the elaborate ones.

Cost:
  • asparagus: $1.50
  • mushrooms: $0.75
Total: $2.25 or $1.13 for each of two servings.
