As always, I encourage you to use garden or organic vegetables whenever possible. This is a great meatless entree, colorful and flavorful but doesn’t mask the taste of each veggie. Aside from the knife work, this is super easy and quick to prepare and is gluten-free, vegan, nightshade free, diabetic friendly, heart healthy and loaded with nutrition.

Mushrooms and Asparagus Stir Fry

Yield: 2-3 servings

3 rainbow carrots, 1: yellow, orange, purple
3 cups snow pea pods
8 shitake mushrooms
8 Crimini mushrooms
½ yellow or white onion julienne
7 asparagus spears
5-6 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons Bragg’s liquid amino or gluten-free tamari sauce
2 teaspoons sugar coconut or white sugar
1-2 teaspoons arrowroot powder

Cut hard bottoms off the asparagus and slice into 2 inch lengths. Remove snow pea spine strings but leave whole. Cut carrots in half lengthwise then diagonal slices. Remove stems from shiitakes and cut caps in half. Slice each Crimini mushroom into 3 slices, julienne the onion and chop the garlic. Tip: Place all of these into a large bowl. Heat oil in a wok or large sauté pan, pour in veggies, Bragg’s, or tamari and sugar and stir fry till a bit of liquid forms at the bottom of the pan (about 3-4 minutes). Sprinkle in arrowroot powder to thicken sauce, cook another 30 seconds stirring constantly then portion and serve.
