At a Japanese restaurant we had ordered a mushroom spinach saute that had a sweet sesame sauce which inspired this dish, that and the gourmet mushroom medley that I needed to use. Not sure how I came up with the relish but it worked. I served it over a bed of spinach . After tasting the relish I thought it would have gone great with diced avocado if only I wasn't allergic to them, so for everyone else I served the diced avocado on top. If you like avocado it would go great in the relish! Serve as a meal for two or a side salad for four.
Mandarin Edamame Relish
11 oz can mandarin oranges in light syrup (drained but reserve syrup for mushroom)
1/2 cup shelled cooked edamame
1 diced bell pepper (red, orange, or yellow)
1 tomato diced
2 green onions diced
1 tsp sesame seeds
1 tsp tamamri*
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
juice of one lime
1/4 tsp hot sauce
1/4 tsp cumin
dash or two red pepper flakes (optional)
1 avocado diced or sliced (optional)
Cut mandarins in thirds. Mix all ingredients in a bowl up to red pepper flakes. Mix diced avocado in or use slices on the top when serving. Chill at least 30 minutes and serve.

Mix ingredients from juice to tamari in a bowl. Heat olive oil in a large over medium/high heat until oil is hot. Lower heat to medium and saute mushrooms until they begin to release liquid ( 5-10 minutes.) Add the liquid and simmer until mushrooms are cooked, approximately 10 more minutes.
Serve mushrooms over a bed of spinach topped with Mandarin Edamame Relish. Sprinkle red crushed pepper on top.
