Note

If fresh mushrooms are unavailable, you can substitute with a 4-6 ounce can of sliced mushrooms. Be sure to drain them before adding to the dish.

For a variation, try using diced zucchini instead of green bell peppers for a different texture and flavor profile.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to restore moisture.
