sidexeffects asked: theres nothing better than a girl with an eye for detail, ima have to try that recipe! and im pretty picky with the ingredients and cuts i use :p

As you can see its pretty flexible, I never really stated specific cook times or concrete ingredient amounts so in that sense you should be able to customize it according to your tastes. :)

This recipe is a quick and delicious way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet.  Portobello mushrooms have a meaty taste when cooked, so you won’t feel like you’re missing out on any flavor.  Appropriate as a side dish, although I served mine on a bed of fresh spinach for more of a meal.

Ingredients:

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, cut into wedges (I didn’t have onion on hand)

water for sauteeing

1 large red bell pepper

2 large portobello mushroom caps, de-gilled and sliced

2+ tsp low sodium shoyu (aka soy sauce), to taste

2+ tsp oyster sauce, to taste

dash of cayenne pepper or chili pepper oil, to taste

Sprigs of oregano or thyme *optional

- Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, saute the garlic and onion until fragrant.

- Add bell peppers, mushrooms, herbs if you like and water to the skillet for 5-10 minutes.  Add just enough water for the veggies to absorb and create a slight broth, but not enough to cover them *amount depends on size of skillet and veggies.  We want to start creating a glaze with the liquid, so use your discretion…

- Once veggies are tender and water has turned slightly brown from the juices, add shoyu, chili oil or cayenne and oyster sauce.

- Mix well and turn heat to simmer for a couple of minutes.  Remove veggies and serve alone, over rice or over spinach but allow the sauce to simmer longer.

- After 1-2 more minutes the sauce should have reduced into a thicker glaze; pour over vegetables and serve.

Haha no matter how I answer this I feel lame and geeky. I’m just about that dark wizardry.
