• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your vegetables. Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the red onion into similar strips. Clean and slice the mushrooms.

Mince the garlic cloves finely, and chop the fresh cilantro for garnish.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and develop a slight char.

Step 6

Sprinkle in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.

Step 7

Add the lime juice and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Once the vegetables are cooked to your desired doneness, remove the skillet from heat.
