EGG AND MUSHROOM STROGANOFF
Ingredients:
————
4 eggs
1/2 cup long grain rice
1 tblsp melted butter
1 small onion, Finely chopped
3 bacon rashers, chopped
1 cup sliced mushrooms
225 g carton sour cream
salt and pepper
parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions:
————-
Hard boil eggs. Cook the rice in boiling salted water until tender.
Drain well and place on a serving plate. Arrange the eggs on top and
keep warm. In a frying pan melt the butter, then fry the onions, bacon
and mushrooms until tender. Stir in the sour cream. Mix well, then
pour the mixture on top of the eggs. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve
immediately.
CRISP SAUTEED MUSHROOMS
Ingredients:
————
1 # large whole fresh mushrooms
these mushrooms must be absolutely fresh and the caps should
not be separating from the stems.
Instructions:
————-
Brush off mushrooms and slice into 1/4″ slices from the top down,
including the stems.
With a fine mist spray bottle, mist the mushrooms to just barely dampen.
Drop into a paper bag or large ziplock bag that contains 1 or 2 cups of
a/p flour. Stir well or shake very gently. Then, let the mushrooms
“marinate” for a while in the flour while you prepare to cook them.
In a large, well seasoned cast-iron skillet or a commercial quality nonstick
skillet melt 1/2 stick of fresh unsalted butter and ~1/4 cup of
olive oil. Mix the oils well and heat to ~300-325 degrees F.
Drop the mushrooms into a colander to remove excess flour. Drop a few
at a time into the butter/oil and coat each well. Continue ’til all the
mushrooms are in the skillet. Turn down the heat to the saute level
and continue to cook, turning frequently. After a few minutes add salt
and pepper to taste.
Continue to cook until the degree of crispness is achieved.
My neighbor used to cook these for a long time, rendering nearly all the
moisture out of the mushrooms. The finished product would be the most
delicate, and crisp mushrooms used as a side vegetable.
