Mixed Vegetables with almonds

Vegetables-Mixed Vegetables with Almonds
Ingredients: 
1 15 ounce can of white beans, drained
5 small portabello mushrooms
handful of fresh peas
3 kalamata olives
1/2 diced avocado
1 baby bok choy
1/2 tsp summer savory
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2-3 tbsp butter or vegan margarine
olive oil
top with slivered almonds.

Stir fry the vegetables, add the beans and herbs and olives.  At the last minute, add the avocado.  The avocado adds a surprisingly creamy texture to the mix.
Slivered Almonds, the easy way


I like roasted, salted Blue diamond almonds, but whatever you prefer. 
 Place a handful of nuts (3/4 cup) into a ziplock bag.



 Using the flat side of a meat tenderizer, lightly hit the nuts, they'll splinter, but only a little, slivered almonds, without flinging them all over your kitchen trying to use a knife.
