I don’t know about you, but I struggle with finding something to add to whatever I’m fixing or picking up for dinner. Half the time, I just throw frozen broccoli in the microwave. We love asparagus which I normally just drizzle with olive oil and roast in the oven. But try throwing some mushrooms in and roasting them together and you’ll get an amazing combination of flavors.
Drizzle with a little butter, of course, and some fresh herbs and you have transformed a boring dinner into one that is much more interesting. Any type of fresh mushrooms will work.
So if you’re having one of those nights when you can’t come up with something to make for dinner, grab some asparagus and an assortment of mushrooms and enjoy.
