MUSHROOM SAUTE WITH TOASTED WALNUTS

2 Tbsp. walnuts
1 tsp. olive oil
2 cups thinly-sliced Portobello mushrooms, stems removed (about 1-2)
2 cups thinly-sliced shiitake mushrooms, stems removed (about 6)
2 cups thinly-sliced white mushrooms, stems removed (about 6)

In small skillet, toast walnuts over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, without stirring, about 2 minutes. Begin stirring. Add parsley and garlic and saut for 3-5 minutes, or until mushrooms release their liquid and begin to darken.
