Ingredients

• 400 grams asparagus
• 300 grams cremini mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the asparagus, cutting off the tough, woody ends. Slice the asparagus into 2-inch pieces for easier cooking.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 3

Mince the garlic into fine pieces and set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter together with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Toss the mushrooms into the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the butter and oil. Let them cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.

Step 7

Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the asparagus pieces to the pan.

Step 8

Sprinkle the asparagus with salt, black pepper, and thyme leaves. Stir to combine with the mushrooms and sauté for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables. Gently toss to combine.

Step 10

Transfer the buttery mushrooms and asparagus to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy as a side dish to complement any meal!
