Ingredients for Asparagus And Mushrooms

  • Fresh Asparagus
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • White Sauce
  • Chives
  • Pimentos

How to Make Asparagus And Mushrooms

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Trim and cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Steam or blanch asparagus until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside.
  4. While asparagus cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic; sauté until mushrooms are softened and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. In a greased 1 1/2-2 quart baking dish, combine the cooked asparagus and sauteed mushrooms.
  6. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  7. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the asparagus and mushroom mixture.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes, or until heated through and the topping is golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
