  1. Chop all the ingredients. Place the mushrooms, pepper, onion, and beet, drizzle with oil and spices, and marinate for an hour.
  2. After the marinating time, fry the vegetable mixture on high heat for 2 minutes, then reduce to low heat and cook with occasional stirring for about 10 more minutes.
