Asparagus And Mushrooms Recipes

Crisp – tender, emerald spears of fresh Spring asparagus join rich, meaty slices of mushroom under a decadent blanket of herbed lemon butter

Less than 10 mins to prepare, 25 mins to cook!

Salt can be added or skipped, but this is a great sauteed side. Can be broken down into more servings, but we split this between 2.

Easy Summer Grilled Asparagus and Baby Bella Mushrooms

Easy roasted veggies

One pan garlic herb chicken and asparagus and mushrooms is full of rich flavor. One pan for easy prep, cook and clean up.

This sauce is terrific when served on top of polenta.

Full of flavor, low in fat and calories!

This is what I what i usually make when guests come over. I get rave reviews.

from men's health magazine

This recipe originally had 1 cup of heavy cream as part of the sauce. I substituted a can of cream of mushroom soup instead. A white sauce (water, salt and corn starch) could also be used.

This is a fast and tasty dish that works well served over brown rice. Please note: the brown rice is not included in the nutritional values.

"Something bright and green always beats the winter blues. This rustic polenta, starring the first asparagus of the season, may provide the lift you need."

Adapted for less fat and fewer calories from BHG "Cooking Well Today;" original version = 273 calories (33 g carbs, 11 g protein, 11 g fat) per serving versus Alex's version = 190.7 calories (32.1 g carbs, 8.4 g protein, 5.0 g fat) per serving. This is accomplished soley through the substitution of cheeses (fat free mozzarella for parmesan) and the omission/substitution of olive oil (olive oil flavored Pam is used instead and I've found does not affect the taste or texture at all!). Enjoy eating and living well!

I have a very different variant with chicken which is good, too. This recipe is more directly related to one in a food & wine cookbook but has been heavily adapted. Originally I just used olive oil spray but as my family has increased our calorie intake, I've added modest fats back into our diet. This recipe works with olive oil spray.

Broccoli, Asparagus & Mushrooms mixed with Olive Oil and then Oven Grilled.

This is an adaptation of a Rachael Ray recipe (for original, go to http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael

I reduced the amount of fat in the recipe, but one could easily leave the butter out of the rice and perhaps experiment with less fat in the rest of the recipe in order to save even more calories. There will be leftover rice (nutrition is calculated based on 1 cup of rice per serving).
