Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Asparagus
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Shallot, minced
- 2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus. Cut asparagus spears into 2-inch pieces.
Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and are golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced shallot, sherry vinegar, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil while whisking until emulsified.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the asparagus and mushrooms. Drizzle the sherry vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled as a side dish.
