Directions
-
Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the finely chopped onion and celery to the skillet, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and soft.
-
Stir in the finely chopped button mushrooms and cook for another 5-8 minutes, allowing them to release their moisture and brown slightly.
-
Reduce heat to low and fold in the dry roasted cashews and unsalted pistachios, tossing gently to warm the nuts through without burning them.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat and serve immediately.

Note
The original ingredient list did not specify the quantity for button mushrooms; a standard 8 oz (225g) package is recommended for this volume of other ingredients.
For a smoother texture, you can roughly chop the pistachios and cashews before adding them to the pan.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The nuts may soften slightly upon reheating; you can refresh the crunch by toasting them separately and adding them just before serving.
If the pan seems dry while sautéing the mushrooms, add the remaining 1/4 cup of oil or a splash of vegetable broth to prevent sticking.
