Mushroom Stir Fry

Okay so I’m back in full force after a busy time at work where I didn't have a lot of time to blog.

Keeping up with our little fungi friends here is a nice little dish. It’s my own creation and even though it has no meat in it (you don’t even miss it) it is filling and healthy as well.

If you have to you can add some cut up chicken breast to it but cook it separate and add at the very end or it will turn black.

Serves 4
Ingredients

1 pkt button Mushrooms                                                            1 can Butter beans
1 Bell pepper                                                                             15 cherry tomatoes
45 ml oil                                                                                     15 ml soya sauce
15 ml balsamic vinegar                                                                Salt and pepper               
1 pkt Brown Mushrooms                                                           1 Leek
1 Stick of celery                                                                         1 Onion
1 Clove of garlic/ 1 teaspoon of garlic                                         1 tbls sugar

Method

Chop all your mushrooms into thin slices to allow short cooking time. Do not mix the two types of mushrooms.

Chop the leek onion celery and garlic clove finely

Half the cherry tomatoes and cut the bell peppers into slices (Julienne)

Strain the water of the butter beans

The fun starts now that everything is prepped.

The key is to think fast and work faster.

Heat your oil in a frying pan or wok until it is just starting to smoke. Don’t turn down your heat at all during the cooking process.

When a light smoke is rising from the oil throw in your leek onion celery and garlic clove.

Give it a quick stir then add the button mushrooms, bell pepper and butter beans.

Stir and let it stand for 1 minute while frying.

Mix your soya, balsamic, sugar and salt and pepper together.

Now add the tomatoes and the brown mushrooms give it a good stir but do not over work it as the brown mushrooms break up and make the whole dish black. Drizzle the soya dressing over the whole dish. Let it fry for 3 more minutes without too much stirring maybe maximum two times. Take it off the heat and stir on last time.
Serve with rice or noodles and make sure you also dish up the sauce at the bottom is packed with flavor.
