Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil olive oil or avocado oil would work
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 bunches asparagus woody ends removed, cut into smaller pieces
  • 8 oz. button or cremini mushrooms
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt more or less to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Saute garlic: Heat oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add in garlic and saute for a minute.
  • Saute vegetables: Add asparagus and mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until mushrooms release their juices and asparagus is tender for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Finish and serve: Season with salt and pepper. Serve while still warm.

Notes

  • The finishing touch: While it is optional, you can finish it off with a squeeze of lemon juice for a Mediterranean flair or a splash of soy sauce (with a sprinkle of sesame seeds) for an Asian flair.
  • Mushrooms: I used widely available white button mushrooms, but any mushroom would work here. Feel free to try shiitake, portobello or even oyster mushrooms for an even more umami flavor.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
