A simple mushroom medley that pairs beautifully with a side of braised fennel.

I have truly been obsessed with mushrooms lately, because they are just so damn good!

Mushrooms are one of the most powerful functional foods we can get our hands on. Certain varieties, such as shiitake, maitake and oyster mushrooms, play an important part in keeping the immune system strong, helping to fight off viruses and bacteria sometimes before any symptoms can even manifest.

This simple recipe uses a mixture of mushroom varieties and can be whipped up in no time at all. I highly recommend giving the braised fennel a whirl also - the sweetness seems to work with those earthy flavours. Remember to balance out your meal by adding a serving of quality protein such as chickpeas, mixed beans, tempeh or lentils. 

Enjoy!
