Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts (optional)
Directions
Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the asparagus and red onion in the mixture, season with salt, and cook until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir the red bell pepper into the mixture and continue cooking until the onions begin to caramelize, another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the vinegar, Parmesan cheese, sesame seeds, and pine nuts; toss to combine.
