1. Trim morels and remove grit and dirt with a soft vegetable brush. Cut in half lengthwise. Trim and wash asparagus in several changes of cold water. Pat dry and cut on the bias into 2-inch lengths.

2. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add cumin and mustard seeds, garlic, shallots and chili; stir 30 seconds or until the seeds begin to pop. Add asparagus and sauté for 3 minutes, turning with a spatula to mix in seasonings. Add morels, butter, salt and pepper. Sauté 3 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Serve immediately.
