White Asparagus With Mushrooms In Brown Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients

25 white asparagus, trimmed and peeled
salt and sugar, for boiling
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 lb mushroom, chopped
3 shallots, thinly sliced and separated into rings
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, plus 1 tablespoon whole leaves

Preparation

Bring a large pot of sugar-salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towel.
Melt the butter in a large skillet. When the butter begins to turn brown, add the mushrooms, and cook over fairly high heat, stirring often, until just tender, about 8 minutes. Add shallots and fresh thyme and stir until softened, for about 2 minutes. Add the asparagus and continue to cook until warmed through. Add lemon juice, chopped parsley and whole parsley leaves. Season with salt and pepper.
