Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 300 grams button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Do not let it burn.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and started to brown.

Step 4

Add the sliced red, yellow, and green bell peppers to the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the peppers are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Stir to evenly coat the mushrooms and peppers with the seasoning.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and taste the dish. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Transfer the sautéed mushrooms and peppers to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy on its own for a simple, healthy meal.
