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.
