Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and starts to bubble slightly.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
- Add the prepared asparagus pieces to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is tender but still slightly crisp.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour in the 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Stir to combine all the ingredients. Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Season the creamy mushroom and asparagus mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the 1 tablespoon of finely chopped chives and stir to combine.
- Once the sauce has thickened and the asparagus (if used) is cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve immediately, either as a standalone dish or over your choice of pasta, rice, or toasted bread.
- Optionally, garnish with extra chopped chives or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for an added touch of flavor.
Tips:
- Use fresh asparagus and mushrooms for the best flavor.
- Don’t overcook the asparagus; it should retain a slight crunch.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste; you might want to add a pinch of salt and pepper.
- For a richer flavor, consider using shiitake or cremini mushrooms.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
