Asparagus and Mushrooms (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 8 oz mushrooms (button or cremini are good choices)
02 - 2 bunches asparagus, trimmed and chopped into pieces
03 - 1 tablespoon oil (try olive or avocado if you'd like)
04 - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
05 - ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
06 - ½ teaspoon kosher salt (adjust as needed)

# Instructions:

01 - In a big 12-inch pan, warm the oil over medium heat. Toss in the garlic and keep stirring for about a minute.
02 - Throw in the asparagus and mushrooms. Stir them around often as they cook. When the mushrooms let out some liquid and the asparagus softens, you're good—about 5-7 minutes.
03 - Sprinkle on some salt and pepper. Dish it up warm.

# Notes:

01 - For a zesty kick, squeeze on some lemon juice, or try soy sauce with sesame seeds to give it an Asian vibe.
02 - Swap out button mushrooms for shiitake, oyster, or portobello ones for richer flavor.
03 - Keep any leftovers in a container with a good lid in the fridge. They're fine for up to 4 days.
