Add the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes until softened. Add the garlic, cayenne and green seasoning. Cook for 1 – 2 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Add the patchoi and mix into the mushrooms. When the patchoi begins to wilt, add the tomatoes and a little water. Mix well. Cover and let cook for a few minutes.
