Asparagus Mushrooms Sauteed (Print Version)

# 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:

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

# Notes:

01 - 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.
02 - Mix things up by using other mushrooms, like oyster, portobello, or shiitake, for more savory depth.
03 - Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator; they'll last up to four days.
