I love cooking with mushrooms and onions because they make their own juices, so you very rarely need to use oil for them! We don't totally avoid oil in our house, but we do try to limit it only for when we really need it. If we are going to use an oil it is usually olive, coconut, or avocado oil. We do occasionally use things like grapeseed oil or sesame oil for certain recipes.
Anyways, I never add oil "just because." So this is one of those times where any oil in the recipe would be "just because" therefore, it has no oil!
It takes a little bit of time for the juices to release from the mushrooms and onions, but once it does, you just season and then they're ready to eat!
This recipe is a great weeknight meal because it is quick and easy!
I recommend making or buying some yummy toppings like guacamole, pico de gallo, and cilantro!
