mirliton dressing

Didn't really know where to put this, but since the subject of mirlitons came up in the general forum, I thought I'd post this somewhere!!


4 mirlitons
1 onion, chopped
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1 bunch green onions, chopped [/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]4-5 toes garlic, minced [/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1/2 cup chopped parsley [/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1/2 cup celery, and green pepper [/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]olive oil [/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1 cup Progresso Italian bread crumbs[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1 cup freshly grated Romano cheese[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1 lb. of fresh shrimp, peeled and cut into pieces [/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]2 tsp oregano, 4 tsp thyme, salt, pepper to taste and about 2-3 bay leaves[/font]









[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Boil mirlitons whole until tender...but not mushy. [/font]​


[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Peel, if necessary; remove seed in center and cut into cubes.

Hi there. There is no amount of mirlitons in your recipe, could you just toss that in for me please? Thanks! I moved this to casseroles, as it seemed appropriate.
 
Thanks! I thought this looked pretty cool. Would you say this is more an appetizer thing or a side dish? They don't look big enough for a main course, or am I out to lunch on that one?
