Total 20min
310cal

Ingredients for 3 servings

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic gloves, minced
  • 1/2 white onion, diced
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 18oz Crimini mushrooms, stems removed and sliced
  • Seasonings
    • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
    • 1 teaspoon ground sage
    • 1 teaspoon fennel powder

  • 2 tablespoons vegan Worcestershire
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium Tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk
  • 3 cups frozen peas
  • Fresh chopped parsley

Steps

Step 1

Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat. When hot, add olive oil, garlic and onions. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onions turn brown and slightly translucent. Add a pinch of salt as the onions cook.

Step 2

Add sliced crimini mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms begin to wilt and shrink in size, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the seasonings as the mushrooms cook and stir for 1 minute.

Step 4

Pour in the veggie broth, Worcestershire and low sodium Tamari. Stir and increase the heat slightly to bring to a low simmer. Wilt the mushrooms further in the sauce and let the majority of the liquid evaporate, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add almond milk and fold in the peas. Remove the skillet from the heat and continue stirring so the peas thaw.

Step 6

Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes, if desired, and enjoy with freshly steamed cauliflower rice to make it even heartier BUT keep it lower in carbs.
