Mushrooms and asparagus make a very good combination. These sauteed vegetables make the perfect side dish. You can make it for lunch or dinner also by adding other veggies of your choice like broccoli, bell peppers, carrots etc.
For this recipe you can take white button/ Cremini/ oyster/ shiitake mushrooms. I took white button mushrooms. Let me tell you a little bit about mushrooms.
