Here's the recipe for the mushrooms -
Citrus Marinated Mushrooms
Recipe from Joie Warner’s Mexican Meals book
1 lb. medium mushrooms, stems removed
1 cup olive oil
Grated zest of 1 medium orange
Grated zest of 1 medium lemon
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 large garlic cloves, very finely chopped
2 tsps. salt
2 tsps. mustard seed
2 tsps. dried oregano
2 T. finely chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 tsp. cayenne
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Place mushrooms, oil, orange and lemon zest, and orange and lemon juice in nonreactive saucepan over high heat; bring just to a boil and remove from heat.
Transfer mixture to glass jar or bowl, and stir in garlic, salt, mustard seed, oregano, cilantro, cayenne, and pepper.
Allow to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for at least 24 hours before serving. Drain mushrooms and serve. Serves 4 (?)
Hold on to the marinade, it’s delicious. I’m tossing it with pasta for dinner today.

Jean, everything looks so tasty. Your tamales look fine to me and I'm sure they were delicious. What a fun evening you had.

Glad it went [relatively] well.
Definitely need to see if I can get some mushrooms soon. Fortunately, I HAVE seen them in a couple of stores recently.

Everything looks wonderful Jean.
I can't wait to get "home". My masa grinder is in the trailer and I have a big bag of dent corn (dried hominy). I need to replenish my chiles too.

It looks great, Jean! Looks like a fun party!

Thanks for the recipe Jean! But I'm still trying to wrap my head around mushrooms in orange and lemon with garlic. Never thought of pairing mushrooms with citrus.

Hope you give it a try, Barbara - I had never done this combination either!!
Re: Tamale Party - labradors - 02-16-2014
Just double-checking:
Since all the other herb/spice measurements are two teaspoons, is the cilantro correct at two tablespoons, or is that supposed to be two teaspoons, as well?
Re: Tamale Party - cjs - 02-16-2014
This was an early work of Joie Warner and she didn't write recipes too well. 2 T. is correct for the cilantro.
(guess I should rewrite for future......)
