Years ago I went to an occasion ( wedding or something like that), and instead of the typical grilled vegetables, Pasta Primavera (usually with way too many peppers), or something from the cocktail hour, they actually offered Mushroom Wellington as the vegetarian option. It was really good, and even if it wasn't, appreciated the effort. I actually did make one maybe a year ago. Not as good as what I had at that occasion, but still aa respectable effort. I will definitely try the recipe you provided. Im in search of one that was better than what I did , maybe this is the one. Thanks for posting it.You talked about mushrooms, upstairs I opened a box in the kitchen and my DIL has these HUGE Portobella's same size as your shiitake, I clic on a linc (elsewhere) and up pops a bunch of mushroom recipes (sorry usually with meat) and one stood out...
..Mushroom Wellington - not vegan but you might be able to adapt? Sounds fiddley but I might give it a try.
Forgot, also on my week's menu was to be a Mushroom Barley Soup...
As far was mushroom barley soup goes, I'm waiting patiently to make it. I have a bunch of mushrooms I've been drying and saving for it. I just have a bunch of other soups that I need two eat ( trying to make room in the freezer) before I tackle it. I love mushroom barley soup. My sister in law made one the other day. It wasn't bad. (not as good as she made it out to be), but was good.
I did pick about 1/2 point of Chestnut Mushrooms today. No special texture or taste, but were a good mushroom. Didnt fit into what I was making tonight, so just sautéed them with some garlic, olive oil and wine. Thickened it up a bit, and will snack on it. Good thing I washed them thoroughly. Found 2 slugs hiding under the caps.
