Notes

Annapoorna Tip
This is an excellent "clean out the refrigerator" recipe. Use any combination of mushrooms and seasonal vegetables such as zucchini, green beans, peas, asparagus, or spinach. The creamy roasted pepper and cabbage gravy pairs beautifully with almost any vegetable while keeping the dish completely whole food plant-based and naturally oil-free.
