I love when a recipe so easy and simple can be this delicious.
If you're looking for a seriously tasty side dish for Christmas or a dinner party, then you need to try this! It's stress-free cooking and is ready in under 20 minutes, with minimal effort.
The contrast in textures between the soft mushrooms and the slight crunch of the Tenderstem® combined with the sweet sour balsamic and salty, earthy garlic and soy sauce, treats your palate to some serious umami goodness.
This dish is also very easy to make gluten-free. Simply swap soy sauce for tamari sauce or coconut aminos (to make it soy-free and paleo diet-friendly).

I am considering serving this to accompany your butternut squash and chilli risotto... Do you think this combination would work? If not do you have a better suggestion? I am very new to vegan cookery :)
