mushrooms by cutting off a thin slice of the
stem of each mushroom. Drop the mushrooms into
boiling water and reduce the heat. Simmer for 5

Cooking Tips |
|
**These mushrooms
are best when they have marinated for a long time. Be
sure to take them out of the refrigerator in time for
them to return to room temperature before serving. |
|
**Be sure to serve
sliced baguette when you display your mushrooms.
Baguette slices dipped in the drippings can be
considered another appetizer! |

NOTE: This was one of the
recipes that we prepared for testing when we helped to put
together Junior League of San Diego's
Cookbook: California Sol Food. It
scored high ratings!

****Restaurant Quality- would
make it again. "These are a terrific appetizer to make ahead.
Be sure to have some sliced baguette available. My family loved
dipping it in the extra drippings!"
