Mushroom, Kale, and Winter Vegetable Stir Fry

Crooked Carrot‘s Winter Stir Fry Mix was such a big hit in our CSA shares this past January that we decided to go for a repeat! This recipe can be customized to include just about anything you like. Substitute different veggies for kale or mushrooms and different nuts instead of cashews. Add sesame seeds, and bulk it up with meat or tofu. Go crazy – you can’t go wrong!
