Print viewRecipe: Sautéed Asparagus and Morels with Indian Spices
PREV
Serves 4
1/3 pound morels
1 pound asparagus
1 tablespoon canola oil
¼ teaspoon black or regular cumin seeds
½ teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1 tablespoon chopped mild to moderately hot fresh chili
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ to ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
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.
