Asparagus is in abundance right now. It is easy to find, inexpensive, delicious, and nutritious. While I enjoy it steamed with some salt and pepper, it can get a little boring. So I came up with this simple recipe. It will make a great side to just about any chicken or fish dish, in fact I paired it along side our Broiled Tilapia Parmesan and it worked really well. And while I just used asparagus, onion, and mushrooms, I think that zuchinni and perhpas some green peppers would also add a great flavor to this mix.

This was a delicious side to the big, fat, juicy hamburgers I made the other night. I bought asparagus in abundance about 10 days ago, so I have looking for ways to use it. Thanks for all the recipes.
I love mushrooms, but rarely purchase fresh ones, as I am the only one in the house that will eat them. I chopped 3 large mushrooms for this recipe and enjoyed every last bite of them.
