Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fresh green peas
- 2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Sprinkle the ground cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt over the mushrooms, stirring well to evenly coat them with the spices.
Add the green peas and water to the skillet. Stir to combine, then cover the skillet with a lid.
Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, or until the peas are tender and cooked through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the lid, taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a light vegetarian main.
