I love mushrooms and used to think that even though they were delicious, they did not offer much nutritional value. I am happy to say that I was wrong.
Many varieties of mushrooms are a great source of Selenium and all varieties provide a host of essential nutrients. Mushrooms are the only plant source that makes bone-loving Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
I used Cremini mushrooms in this recipe, which is an adult version of White Button mushrooms that help improve immune function.
In addition, mushrooms contain antioxidants and assist in metabolic processes.

Not quite sure where this idea came from today but it is certainly a keeper. I like the melding of flavors and textures.
You can serve on fresh greens, as pictured, or alone as a side dish. I also topped mine with pine nuts but for those with nut allergies, they are definitely optional.
ENJOY!

I have made coconut rice in previous recipes on this blog. If you try just one, please let it be this recipe. The pineapple and cilantro add just the right amount of complementing tastes to make this dish memorable.
Here in Southern California, zucchini and summer squash are always available. If you can’t find any in your area you can substitute another vegetable such as broccoli, carrots and/or cauliflower.
ENJOY!
