Asparagus Health Benefits
Asparagus is super healthy for you! One cup of cooked asparagus has 40 calories, 4 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber and 404 milligrams of potassium. That’s awesome because potassium is good for blood pressure. Asparagus is a nutrient-packed vegetable. It is a very good source of fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E and K! Here’s more info!
Mushrooms Health Benefits
Mushrooms contain B vitamins as well as an antioxidant called selenium, which helps to support the immune system and prevent damage to cells and tissues. Now, different types of mushrooms have specific health benefits, but that’s pretty much true for all of them!
How to make Sautéed Asparagus Mushroom
First gather your ingredients:
- 8 oz asparagus, trimmed, chopped into 2 inch pieces
- 8 oz button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tbsp cooking oil of choice
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped Ham and/or Bacon (Optional – I love adding this when we have leftover ham or bacon, but it’s optional)
- Salt, as desired
If you haven’t already, using a knife trim the asparagus and also chop it in to 2 inch pieces. Also slice the mushrooms.
Add the cooking oil in to a large skillet and let it heat up for about a minute. When heated, add garlic, ham and bacon. Add mushrooms in to the skillet and stir fry for about 3 minutes.
Add asparagus in to the skillet and stir fry for another 4 minutes or until mushrooms and asparagus is tender and cooked thoroughly.
Add salt as desired, and then stir to combine. Remove from heat and serve!
