INGREDIENTS
1 shallot, sliced thinly
Olive oil
1 pound Brussels sprouts, sliced thinly
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced thinly
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Aji Amarillo paste
PREPARATION
Sauté the shallot in 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts and mushrooms and sauté for another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring or tossing in the pan occasionally.

Add the lemon-honey-chili seasoning to the pan when the vegetables are tender, and serve immediately.
