How To Make special asparagus
-
Step 1Gather all ingredients & prep vegetables.
-
Step 2Pour oil into medium nonstick skillet, add butter.
-
Step 3Place over medium heat; when butter is melted, add prosciutto; cook 1 to 2 minutes, until prosciutto is fairly crisp; remove from heat immediately; remove prosciutto from skillet to small plate or bowl, leaving oil in skillet.
-
Step 4Break or cut meat into small pieces (I use kitchen shears) & set aside.
-
Step 5Return skillet to medium heat; add asparagus and mushrooms; sauté 8 (or so) minutes, adding salt and pepper toward end of cooking time (go easy on the salt because the prosciutto and cheese are both salty!) Stir in crispy prosciutto bits.
-
Step 6Remove to warm serving dish; sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.
-
Step 7Recipe may be multiplied. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
