Equipment
- 1 medium pot
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 cups fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced (button, cremini, or portobello work well)
- 3 cups of fresh sweet peas (you can also use frozen peas, thawed)
- 1 1/2 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/8 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to turn golden brown.
- Toss in the peas and cook for another 5 - 10 minutes, just until they are tender but still vibrant. If using frozen peas, cook until heated through.
- Season the dish with onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the mushrooms and peas in the spices.
- Finish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the dish. Serve hot as a side or over rice, quinoa, or pasta for a complete meal.
