INGREDIENTS:

  • ½ cup walnuts 
  • 250g button mushrooms (brown or white)
  • 5 cloves garlic

  4. Add the sliced mushrooms, parsley and thyme and cook for a further 7-8 minutes, stirring often.
  5. Add the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste (the soy sauce will be salty so go easy on the salt!)
