Vegetarian Fare - Asparagus
We seem to go to a lot of picnics this time of year. One last weekend, and two this weekend, for example.
Our families celebrate a lot of happenings this time of year - what with birthdays, graduations, weddings, house warmings, first communions and the like. And most of them are celebrated with food and often in picnic form. The feature food is always some great - or maybe not so great - meat. That’s super. And I love it.
But if you happen to be a veggie lover like me, then this should be a real treat for you. This is a good time of year to try this, ‘cause asparagus is plentiful just now.
Easy to fix, of course.
Stir Fried Asparagus & Mushrooms
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 bouillon cube
1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme (dried if you don’t have an herb garden)
1 sun dried tomato snipped
1 pound fresh asparagus cut into 1 inch pieces
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
In small bowl, stir water, cornstarch, bouillon , tyme and tomato. Set aside.
Stir fry asparagus 4 minutes. Add mushrooms stir fry 1- 1/2 minutes. Add cornstarch mix. Stir fry 2 minutes more. Serve.
Enjoy!
