Cooking in the Lite

A nourishing dish that is full of vitamins K, D and pantothenic acid. Ideal for women experiencing the symptoms of menopause or PMS.

• 1/2 cup Yellow onion, finely diced
• 4 Cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tsp. Olive oil
• 1/2 pound Button mushrooms, washed and halved
• 1/2 pound Shiitake or Portobelo mushrooms, washed and sliced
• 1/2 cup Walnut pieces
• Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Place the olive oil in a large skillet.
Heat over medium high.
Add onions, garlic, and walnuts.
When the onions have become clear, but before they caramelize, add the mushrooms.
Stir well and cover.
Reduce heat to medium and cook for four to five minutes.

Try serving this with wild rice and a dollop of sour cream.

Brit’s Notes:
For the best taste purchase button mushrooms with tightly closed caps. Purchase Shiitake or Portobelo mushrooms that are fully opened.

Mushrooms absorb water, so never leave them to soak. Wash each one individually, becing careful to remove a soil.
