Mushroom recipe reviews - labradors - 10-20-2008 Okay. I have some catching up to do. Let's start with recipes I posted a week ago. The Mushroom, Leek and Potato Soup was very good, but I really like the Creamy Mushroom Soup with Meatballs better, so I would give this an 8. The Mushroom and Bacon Skewers were tasty, but I think they would benefit from overnight marinating, rather than the 30 minutes specified in the recipe, and I would marinate the bacon, as well as the mushrooms. As it was, I drizzled the extra marinade onto the bacon as the skewers were cooking. Also, I felt that the plain yogurt that was used for dipping just sat there, so I mixed in the cooked marinade from the pan, and that helped tremendously. As they were, I would give them an 8, but with my changes, I would bump that up to a 9 - maybe more if they had been marinated over night. There is a side note that goes with the skewers. The recipe calls for "2 tbs sweet chilli sauce" (their spelling), but I could not find anything like that here, so I searched the Internet and found a few recipes, including a couple that were Thai. Since the skewer recipe came from an Australian website, I opted for a "Sweet Chilli Sauce" recipe from another Australian website. Here it is: Sweet Chilli Sauce Makes six small bottles. Ingredients:
Finally, there's what I had for dinner, tonight: Mushroom Burgers. Here's the recipe: Mushroom Burgers preparation: 20 minutes cooking: 30 minutes serves: 4 Ingredients:
Re: Mushroom recipe reviews - cjs - 10-21-2008 The soup sounds very good - don't know why I hadn't copied it back in July (copied now). The skewers - don't remember seeing that recipe, but sounds good also. I have 2 or 3 recipes for Sweet chili sauce that I alternate 'tween - I could use it like ketchup! so good. Re: Mushroom recipe reviews - labradors - 10-21-2008 Jean, would you mind posting those sweet chili sauce recipes? This one is so delicious that it would be interesting to compare them. Either way, I'm still jazzed about the burgers. Especially considering the [lack of] the quality of the beef, here, I would much rather have one of those mushroom burgers than a regular hamburger. Re: Mushroom recipe reviews - cjs - 10-21-2008 This first one is from ChefLayne (c2c) - do you remember him? * Exported from MasterCook * Sweet Thai Chili Sauce - cheflayne 3 tablespoons Ground Chili Paste 2 teaspoons Garlic -- finely chopped 1/2 cup Rice Wine Vinegar 2/3 cup Chicken Stock 2/3 cup Sugar 1 teaspoon Salt 4 teaspoons Cornstarch 4 tablespoons Cilantro -- chopped Combine all ingredients except cilantro. Bring to boil while stirring often. reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Cool and add cilantro. ------ * Exported from MasterCook * Thai Sweet Chili Sauce 2 tablespoons sambal oelek or chili peppers 1 cup rice vinegar 2 teaspoons salt 1/3 cup sugar 2 teaspoons fresh garlic -- minced 1 teaspoon gingerroot -- grated 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1/4 cup water In a small pan add the first 6 ingredients together, over low heat. Stir constantly until mixture thickens to a syrupy consistency, about 5 minutes once it starts to simmer. It reduces quite a bit. Mix the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl and add to the sauce. Mix well. Let cook until it starts to thicken, then remove from heat. Let cool, and use in any of your Thai recipes asking for Sweet Chili Sauce. NOTES : makes 2 cups ---- I like mushroom burgers also, but I guess I'm lazy, I just grill some portabellas and dig in. Re: Mushroom recipe reviews - farnfam - 10-21-2008 Oh Goody! I loves mushrooms!! Must try these Cis Re: Mushroom recipe reviews - labradors - 10-21-2008 Quote:Vaguely, but thanks for the recipes. Quote: The problem with that is that portobellos are even less frequent here, and are about twice the price. These burgers were not very difficult, and just used regular shrooms. Re: Mushroom recipe reviews - - 10-21-2008 The soup with meatballs looks really good - getting to be soup weather here - thanks for the review on the skewers - and of course, burgers are just GOOD!!! Re: Mushroom recipe reviews - Gourmet_Mom - 10-21-2008 They all sound good to me, too, Labs! All copied as well. And the skewers recipe? I LOVE mushrooms! Sadly, I don't get to use them often since YS doesn't like them. DD used to not like them, but now she LOVES them. I'm hoping YS will get over it, soon! Re: Mushroom recipe reviews - dbjjgibs - 10-21-2008 My favorite way to make mushrooms is to bring them to a boil then simmer them in white cooking sherry with pearl onions until they shrink a bit. It usually is about 1/2 hour. It would probably taste even better if you knew a nice white wine use. Re: Mushroom recipe reviews - ozarklm - 10-21-2008 Labs, what kind of medium hot chili did you use? Do you think Poblano or Anaheim chilis would work? |
