Rated 5 stars by 1 users

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
Salt and ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch green onions, white and pale green parts, sliced
1 bunch (about 1 pound) asparagus, trimmed and cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces
12 ounces mushrooms, thickly sliced
1/2 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed
2 teaspoons Veggie-Stock Gold® or Essence de Champignon Gold® dissolved in 1 cup hot water
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
2 tablespoons (packed) fresh mint leaves, torn or roughly chopped
Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Melt the butter in a wide pan over medium-low heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the onion is very soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and green onions and cook for another minute.
Stir in the asparagus, mushrooms, and snap peas, and sauté 2-3 minutes.
Add the diluted Veggie-Stock Gold®, bring the liquid to a low simmer, cover the pan, and simmer for 3 minutes, until the asparagus and snap peas are crisp tender.
Add the green peas and mint, replace the lid on the pan, and cook another 2 minutes.
Season to taste with more salt and pepper and serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

Wine Pairing: Sauvignon Blanc or Gruner Veltliner
