Ingredients

- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1” lengths
- 1½ tsp balsamic reduction
Instructions
- Place olive oil and butter in a heavy saute pan and turn the heat to medium-low.
- Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and beginning to caramelize, about 30 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid from tomatoes has evaporated, about 30 minutes.
- Add the asparagus, turn the heat up to medium-high and cook until all liquid from asparagus has evaporated, 10-15 minutes.
- Make a well in the center of the pan and add the balsamic reduction. Stir to deglaze the pan.

Hack: To keep asparagus fresh, simply trim the bottoms and stand the spears up in a glass or jar with about an inch of water. Cover with a plastic bag then refrigerate them for up to 4 days. Change the water if it gets cloudy!
