Decadent Mushrooms

Ingredients

16-20 mushrooms, with stems left on, just slightly trimmed (I use a combination of shitake and button)
3 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1½ tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup breadcrumbs

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Heat oil and lightly fry mushrooms, stem size up, for about 20 seconds.

Remove mushrooms with a slotted spoon and place in shallow roasting pan.

Add garlic, thyme, lemon juice, salt and pepper to the oil and heat only until well mixed.

Pour over mushrooms, sprinkle crumbs on top and bake for about 10-15 minutes.

 

 

Thin Noodles And Mushrooms

This dish was created by my sister’s sister-in-law because of some leftover lukshen.

Ingredients

1 pkg thin noodles
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
10 oz button mushrooms, sliced
Olive oil
Dash of garlic and onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Cook noodles according to pkg. directions, then drain.

Heat a small amount of olive oil and sauté mushrooms until golden brown.

Add noodles, sauce and spices and bring to a boil.

Put flame on low and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring so it doesn’t stick to the pot.

Fully cover the bottom of the pan with graham crackers, breaking into smaller pieces if necessary.

Mix all 3 boxes of chocolate pudding with 2 ½ cups of milk. Pour over graham crackers.
