Featured Ingredients

Mushrooms are by far the best food source of the non-proteinogenic amino acid ergothioneine, which has been nicknamed the “longevity vitamin” since studies show that it reduces all-cause mortality and is associated with longer lifespan!

Almonds are among the most researched foods, with over two decades of continuous research and more than 175 peer-reviewed published papers outlining numerous health benefits.

Garlic is the top food source of thiosulfinates, which are sulfur-containing compounds responsible for diverse health benefits including powerful anticancer properties as well as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-thrombotic effects.

Ingredients

• 1 pound turnip greens
• 1 pound mushrooms pre-sliced (to save time)
• 1 teaspoons ginger finely grated
• 1/2 cup almonds raw and whole or blanched
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce tamari or coconut aminos
• 2 teaspoons arrowroot flour

Instructions

• Wash turnip greens really well. Slice stems and combine with the mushrooms. Chop up the green into big bite sized pieces and put aside.
• Heat a wok or saute pan on medium high heat. Once hot, add the oil, garlic and ginger and stir for about 1-2 minutes. Next, add the mushrooms and turnip green stems.
• Cook, stirring frequently, until they start to stick (if too much water is coming out of the mushrooms, increase the heat slightly). Add the orange juice and continue to cook until the stems are starting to soften.
• Add the rest of the turnip leaves and the almonds. Cook, stirring frequently, until the leaves are fully wilted.
• Add the soy sauce and sprinkle the corn starch over the top. Stir well. Let the arrowroot powder thicken the juices left in the bottom of the wok for 3-4 minutes (still stirring frequently).
