Instructions
First, heat ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil in a large skillet or frypan. Add onions, leek, carrots, and sauté for 3-5 minutes on high. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly browned stirring frequently.
Then add sliced mushrooms and cover the frying pan with a lid for 5 minutes. The oyster mushrooms will release their juices and cook in their own liquid, combining the flavor of the mushrooms and vegetables together.
After 5 minutes, once the mushrooms have released their moisture, remove the lid, add some ½ tablespoon mustard and spices to your taste (salt, pepper, dry garlic, cumin), and cook on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly or until all the mixture is rich and creamy.
Finally, serve it warm sprinkled with some finely chopped green onions and crushed red pepper, and enjoy it as a light lunch or dinner or side dish with rice, potatoes, your favorite pasta.
