SPICY SAUTÉED MUSHROOMS
what we need
- 1 lb mushrooms - cut into strips. I love shiitake, hen of the woods, oyster or chanterelle as they are thick and meaty (potassium + vit. B12)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil (heart health)
- 3 cloves minced fresh garlic (immune + circulation + heart + cancer )
- 1/2 cup shallot, leek chopped or scallion (immune + heart)
- 1 TBL fresh lemon juice plus zest if desired (antioxidant vit. C)
- 1/4 tsp of CALABASH Jerk Seasoning (blood flow & libido)
- 2 tsp CALABASH Herb de Provence (anti-bacterial +anti-fungal)
this is how we do it!
- over medium heat, preheat your cast iron skillet (add iron to your diet)
- add the oil - do not let oil smoke
- stir in the shallots/leeks or scallion and garlic and coat in oil
- add mushrooms and stir-fry
- mix 1/2 tsp of arrowroot, the Jerk seasoning and Herb de Provence into 1/3 cup cold water and pour into the pot
- cover pot and continue to cook over medium high heat for 5 minutes more
- serve warm over the polenta, rice, or pasta.
