Random Wednesday night dinner... oh what to make! I love being creative and challenging myself in the kitchen. So why not take king oyster mushrooms and julienne them to create an interesting textured sandwich?! With a side of sauteed veggies of course! This meal is delicious!
The Greens N Shrooms can be served as an entree itself. Throw the vegetables over a bed of brown rice or farro and you have a hearty delicious meal!
