HOISIN MUSHROOMS

I serve these as a side dish / QUICK AND EASY

INGREDIENTS:

1 box baby portabello mushrooms

4 cloves garlic

olive oil

hoisin sauce

dark sesame oil

1 tsp. powdered veggie soup base

DIRECTIONS:

Clean and cut the mushrooms into fourth OR if larger, sixths (save the stems and freeze for veggie stock) 

In a sauce pan, start to heat a combination of olive oil and sesame oil, about 1 Tbsp. of each.  Add powered soup base, garlic and liberally douse with bottled HOISIN sauce.  Simmer on stove top until tender and saucy. 

These would be fabulous as a part of a mushroom trio and served atop cooked whole wheat pasta.  I'd add peas to the mixture.
