Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 units garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Wash and trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Cut the spears into 2-inch pieces.
Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and butter. Let the butter melt and combine with the oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to turn bright green and tender-crisp.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and release their juices.
Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes. Stir to combine.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed vegetables and stir to evenly coat.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately as a side dish for your favorite protein or enjoy on its own.
