Serve this veggie-forward dish as a side to pair with any cut of meat like chicken breast or steak. It can also work as a wonderful and filling lunch option on its own with a few extra vegetables or shredded chicken or bacon added in.

For a sophisticated touch of added crunch, top with walnuts or toasted pine nuts.

Choosing Mushrooms

When it comes to which mushroom variety to choose, it all comes down to preference. The mushrooms add an earthy taste that is balanced out with garlic, fresh thyme, leafy greens and tangy cheese, so choose the best option for you and your family. While button mushrooms are quite simple to find any time of year, we also suggest trying cremini, portobello, oyster, chanterelles, porcini, morels, shiitake or any other favourite dishes.
