Mushroom Stir-Fry

Mediterrasian Stir-Fry With Shiitake, Oyster Mushrooms, Hot Peppers, And Soy Sauce


USING EVOO IN COOKING: Extra virgin olive oil is an excellent all-around cooking oil that can be used for baking, roasting, sautéing, pan-frying, or even incorporating into soups for a bit of extra smoothness. It has a high smoke point, it’s rich in heat-stable monounsaturated fats, and high levels of polyphenols and antioxidants.
