Mushroom onion saute. A delicious and easy throw together snack, lunch or dinner for weeknights or when you’re pushed for time. Vegan Recipe. Jump to Recipe
A simple Mushroom saute, my moms way! Mom is not here yet,, but hey we all love our Mom’s creations. This dish is a quick throw in for a weeknight or a lazy weekend. Some pre-packed sliced white mushrooms, onions and spices! and there you go.
Mom usually serves it as snack on toasted bread. Make this with finely chopped mushrooms and serve as pate or dip. Add to greens and sprouts for the umami in the salad. Top an olive oil glazed pizza base.. Serve as side with Lentil soup(Daal) and flat bread(Roti). The possibilities are endless. Mushrooms provide great immune support, are a good source of Vit b12 and many vitamins and minerals!
This is VeganMofo Day 2. Check out my day 1 Almond Oat Breakfast bars with fruit crumble here.
Seen below.. White Mushroom saute on Ciabatta and a bed of spinach. The mushrooms are spicy and saucy by themselves. Use fave dressing if needed.
