Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Trim the stems if needed and slice them into thick pieces.
Deseed the bell peppers and cut them into thin strips (julienne).
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Toss in the bell peppers and stir well. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, until the peppers are slightly softened but still have a bit of crunch.
Sprinkle the mixture with paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, or pair with crusty bread or rice for a light main course.
