Asparagus Tips in Lemon Butter

Ingredients

  • 12 asparagus spears
  • ¼ cup (½ stick) butter
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 4 small wild mushrooms, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Trim the tips from the asparagus, approximately the top 2 or 3 inches, saving the stalks for another use.
  2. Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat and add the lemon juice.
  3. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they begin to darken and release their liquid, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the asparagus tips to the skillet and continue cooking for about 3 minutes, or until the asparagus are just tender.
  5. Serve at once.
