Changing your diet can be daunting; changing your routine, learning how to use new ingredients, and coming up with new recipes. We're a fan of yummly.com where you can enter the ingredients you want to use into the search bar, and a list of beautiful recipes populates right before your eyes! You can adjust the number servings you're cooking for, and you're off to a delicious dinner! 

This recipe magically appeared with a search of a few ingredients pulled off the heart food chart from our previous blog. 

Servings: 4
Time: 50 minutes 

Introducing... drum roll please... Roasted Mushrooms & Shallots with Fresh Herbs!

Picture
Ingredients (in red are from the heart ingredients list!)
  • 1 1/4 tbsps sesame oil 
  • 2 cloves minced garlic 
  • 1 1/2 tbsps minced ginger 
  • 3/4 tbsps low sodium soy sauce
  • 3/4 lbs mushrooms (any kind, or a mix -- white, cremini and shiitake, —large caps quartered)
  • 5 small peeled shallots (small, peeled)
  • 1/4 cup chopped mint 
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 tbsp chopped dill 
  • 1/2 tbsp roasted black sesame seeds 
  • salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400°
  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil with the garlic, ginger and soy sauce. Spread the mushrooms on a baking sheet and drizzle with the garlic sesame oil mixture; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast the mushrooms for about 30 minutes, until tender and glazed.
  2. Meanwhile, on a second large rimmed baking sheet, drizzle the shallots with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil; toss to coat. Season with salt and roast for about 25 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and tender.
  3. Scrape the roasted mushrooms and shallots into a serving bowl. Add the mint, parsley, dill and sesame seeds and toss to coat. Serve hot or warm.


Enjoy!
