Delicious Hot Or Cold Mushrooms A La Grecque Recipes

MUSHROOMS A LA GREQUE

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients, except for the onion and mushrooms, in a stainless steel saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes, then add the onion and cook for a further five minutes. Add the mushrooms and simmer for a further 10 minutes. When they are cooked, if there is too much liquid, remove the mushrooms and reduce the sauce a little to intensify the flavour. Add the mushrooms back to the liquid to chill overnight so they can marinate in the sauce.

MUSHROOMS A LA GRECQUE

Steps:

• Cut a cross on the base of the tomatoes, immerse them in boiling water for 20-30 seconds, then plunge them into cold water; drain and peel the skin away from the cross and, discarding the juice the and seeds (see notes below), finely chop the tomatoes.
• Place the tomatoes, oil, wine, onion, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and basil to a non-aluminium pan, add about 1 cup of water and bring to the boil; then cover and simmer for 10 minutes; then uncover the pan, add the mushrooms and simmer for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Lift out the mushroom with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving dish.
• Boil the cooking liquid rapidly until about 1 cup remains, remove the bay leaf, add the lemon juice and season with salt, pepper and sugar, to taste.
• Pour the liquid over the mushrooms, and leave the mushrooms to cool.
• Serve the mushrooms cold, sprinkled with the chopped parsley and the walnuts.
• Notes: Rather than wasting such juices or vegetable peelings, I add them to my container of ingredients for when I next make my Vegetable Stock Recipe #135453.
