I use my “Hindy Chopper” a.k.a. Vidalia onion chopper on the smaller dice setting to chop the shallots and peppers.
Feel free to add your own spin on these mushroom caps by adding your favorite veggies or plant based meats.
If shallots don’t agree with you, you can substitute 3 thinly sliced green onions.
If garlic doesn’t agree with you, you can substitute 1 tablespoon garlic oil for the canola oil and omit the fresh garlic.
