plum jam, lemon juice and almonds. Also bread crumb mixture. In
the bottom of a ungreased 10 inch pie plate or round baking dish,

WILD MUSHROOM SAUCE

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Sauces Meats
Pasta

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 oz Dried mushrooms
12 oz Assorted fresh mushrooms
– (chanterelle, cultivated,
– shiitake, oyster)
2 tb Unsalted butter
1 tb Finely minced garlic
1 tb Finely minced shallots
-ÿÿOnions
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 c Sherry or Madeira
1/2 c Whipping cream

This sauce has an intensely woodsy flavor that would be good on pasta,
roast chicken or pork.
TO RECONSTITUTE DRIED MUSHROOMS, place them in a bowl and cover with 3 cups
of warm water. Soak for at least 2 hours or up to 8. When mushrooms are
soft, drain and reserve water and squeeze out as much water as you can from
the mushrooms. Pour the mushroom water through a double layer of
cheesecloth or a cloth towel to remove any sand that may have been lurking
in the mushrooms. Reserve 1 cup of liquid for this recipe. (Pour the
remaining mushroom water into a plastic container or airtight bag, label
and freeze for up to a year to use in soups and sauces.) Wash the fresh
mushrooms and pat dry. (Slice chanterelles and cultivated mushrooms, trim
and discard the stems of shiitake mushrooms, and trim and discard root tips
of oyster mushrooms.) Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat
and add the reconstituted dried mushrooms, garlic, shallots and salt. Cook,
stirring, for 10 minutes. Add the fresh mushrooms and continue to cook
another 10 minutes. Add the reserved mushroom water and sherry. Increase
the heat to high and cook until the liquid reduces by about 2/3. Add the
cream and cook until the liquid reduces to a saucelike consistency and is
thick enough to coat a spoon.

Broccoli Casserole -1

Recipe By : Renee Farkas
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Casseroles Cheese
Vegetables Broccoli
Campbell’s Soup

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
10 Ounces Broccoli — cut up in chuncks
1 Can Cream Of Celery Soup
2 Eggs — slightly beaten
1 Cup Cheddar Cheess — shredded
1/4 Cup Mayonaise
2 T. Onion — minced

Microwave broccoli on high for about 5 minutes, so it’s cooked about
halfway but not limp. Combine soup, eggs, cheese, mayonnaise, and onion;
fold together. Add broccoli last and combine. Pour into greased casserole
dish and cook at 325 F for 35-40 minutes or till a knife inserted into the
middle comes out clean.

Notes: I usually double this recipe and cook in a pyrex 13X9 pan, it then
needs to cook for about 50 minutes, sometimes a liitle more.

I’ve also used miracle whip when out of mayo and it makes no difference.
The same for the onion; real onion for minced has never been a problem.

The main thing is to use a casserole dish or another low dish, if you put
it in a bowl or deep dish it won’t ever “set”.

This is always on the table at any of my families get togethers, easy to
throw together and no leftovers.
