The earthy flavor of mushrooms paired with snappy asparagus makes a speedy side that feels fancy but takes no time. Whip up this 10-minute veggie combo as a versatile addition that works with practically any main dish.

I stumbled onto the trick for amazing sautéed veggies during a hectic dinnertime dash - leaving them alone in a hot skillet creates that lovely browned flavor while keeping everything at the perfect not-too-soft texture.

Key Ingredients

  • Fresh Asparagus: Look for ones with vibrant green color
  • Mushrooms: Whatever kind you prefer will do
  • Fresh Garlic: Can't skip this for proper taste

Step-by-Step Guide

Getting Started (5 minutes):
Snap off the woody asparagus bottoms. Wipe mushrooms with a dry paper towel. Cut mushrooms into even pieces. Get your garlic and spices measured. Make sure your pan is hot before you begin.
At The Stove (8 minutes):
Warm oil in a big skillet. Cook garlic till you can smell it. Spread veggies in one layer. Don't touch them at first. Stir now and then until they're done. Add seasoning as you go.
Wrapping Up:
Test if veggies are tender enough. Tweak salt and pepper. Dish it up right away while steamy.

This easy veggie dish shows that sometimes the tastiest food comes from letting good ingredients shine with the right cooking method. It'll impress folks whether you're making a quick family dinner or hosting friends for something special.

Heat Control

Getting your pan to the right temperature really matters here. From my kitchen goofs, I've found that starting with medium-high heat works best for browning without burning the garlic. Your veggies should make a soft sizzling sound when they hit the pan - if they don't, you need to turn up the heat.

Tasty Twists

  • Toss in fresh herbs right before serving
  • Grate some lemon peel over the top
  • Sprinkle with hot pepper flakes
  • Switch up your mushroom types

Keeping Leftovers

  • Store in a sealed container
  • Eat within 4 days
  • Warm up fast in a hot skillet
  • Skip freezing these veggies

Ingredients

→ Key Items

01 2 bunches of asparagus, trim off tough ends and cut them into bite-sized bits
02 1 tbsp. of cooking oil (try avocado or olive oil if you'd like)
03 8 ounces of cremini or button mushrooms
04 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
05 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
06 1/2 teaspoon of coarse salt

Instructions

Step 01

Warm up the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Toss in the chopped garlic and stir it around for about a minute or until you can smell its aroma.

Step 02

Add the chopped asparagus and mushrooms to the pan. Let them cook and stir them every now and then for around 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms sweat out their juices and the asparagus feels tender.

Step 03

Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top to bring out the flavors, and serve the veggies warm.

Notes

  1. For a touch of the Mediterranean, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the veggies. Leaning toward an Asian vibe? Add a quick splash of soy sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
  2. Mix things up by using other mushrooms, like oyster, portobello, or shiitake, for more savory depth.
  3. Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator; they'll last up to four days.

Tools You'll Need
