Stir-Fried Asparagus with Shiitake mushrooms
….Happy Spring! A lot of fresh asparagus can be found at a farmer’s market. It looked very tender, so I put a bunch of asparagus in my grocery cart. Fresh ingredients are delicious no matter what you do. I tried a vegetable dish with some fresh shiitake mushrooms. This quick dish pairs tender asparagus with meaty shiitake mushrooms for a satisfying vegetable stir-fry. It’s a dish that lets you feel Spring. This recipe is from William Sonoma.
