Quick 12 min Lunch: Smoked duck breast and portobello mushrooms with zuchini pasta

Yes you read right, just because it's paleo it does not need to be slow. And just because it's fast, it does not need to be bad/unhealthy.

I've found out in the last month that with the paleo diet, you need to listen your body. If you're hungry, eat.

This is a vert fast recipe for 2 people:

2 portobello mushrooms
1 large zucchini
1 garlic clove - sliced
tomato sauce - I used leftover sauce from a clam recipe I'll post later
1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil

In a pan, sear the mushrooms in a little olive oil. While the mushrooms cook, slice the zucchini in strips. I bought smoked duck breast from d'Artagnan, it is very tasty. You could replace it with the cooked/smoked protein of your choice. Leftover chicken or turkey breast would work well.
Once the mushrooms are nicely cooked, add the tomato sauce and the meat and cook over medium/low heat. In a separate pan, heat olive oil  then add the zucchini slices and garlic and cook for 3 mins. Do not overcook the zucchini or it becomes mushy.
Serve the portobello mushrooms/smoked duck sauce over the zucchini pasta.
Enjoy!
