Stuffed mushrooms

Hmmmm... it would be either my beef & bean enchiladas or the dried beef dip.

I also make a mean White Russian milkshake.

Mmmm, Gern - I would like the recipe for the White Russian. Signature dish - probably Ginger Peach Cheesecake.

Here is the recipe for the Stuffed Mushrooms,which is my Husbands Signature dish. Mine is Potato Leek Soup.

My dish is a Poppy Bread.I make this every Christmas and pass
out mini loaves to all co-workers.Only being 8 of us makes it
easy .

I make a great cilantro pesto that is really good in a layered black bean dip. Also a mexican three milks (tres leches) cake that everyone seems to like.

Here is the Stuffed Mushroom recipe.




Mushroom Royale

Each mushroom cap holds a spicy golden stuffing.

1 lb. medium mushrooms (about 3 dozen)

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1-1/2 cup soft bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon thyme

1/4 teaspoon tumeric

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 tablespoon butter for baking dish
Heat oven to 350 degrees, wash and trim mushrooms. Remove stems, finely chop the stems. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in skillet. Cook and stir mushroom stems, green pepper and onion in butter about 5 min. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients.

Melt last tablespoon of butter in shallow baking dish; fill caps with stuffing, place filled side up and bake for l5 minutes. Then set oven control at broil. Broil for 2 minutes with mushrooms 3-4 inches from heat. (Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.)

I make a dang good tortilla soup, plus if you like tofu, I can make some damn good tofu chimichangas...

Hey julieoj! Would you consider sharing your tres leches recipe? I had a piece of tres leches in Costa Rica and would like to make it here at home.

I pm'd you too. Thanks

so sorry this took so long - new job this week led to craziness. Here is the Tres Leches Cake recipe.

Ingredients

Cake
2 cups all purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
6 large eggs, separated at room temp
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk at room temp

Three milks sauce
12 oz can evaporated milk
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup half & half
2 TB. rum, sherry or cognac (I use a good slug of rum extract)
cinnamon
sweetened whipped cream (optional)

Preheat oven to 325. Mix flour and baking powder in a medium bowl. Beat the egg whites with an electric beater until stiff in a large bowl. Add the sugar and continue beating until the sugar dissolves and the whites are thick and shiny.

Gradually beat in the yolks and vanilla. Beat on low speed for three minutes. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk until smooth.

Pour into greased 9x13 pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until tester comes out clean.

Cool until lukewarm (approx. 20 minutes). Meanwhile make the sauce by mixing together all sauce ingredients thoroughly.

Prick the top of the cake all over with a skewer-like something and gradually spoon all of the sauce over the cake to soak in. Leave to soak in for a half hour and then refrigerate at least two hours and up to overnight. Sprinkle with cinnamon or top with whipped cream right before serving. Or both.

This is even better after a day or two. It sounds a lot more complicated than it is and this cake is to die for.

Enjoy!

julieoj, I am so glad you posted the tres leches cake. It sounds delicious. I had never heard of it before. I can't wait to make one!

Thanks julieoj! I will be trying this soon.

I would love to have the recipe for the cilantro pesto! Could you post it for us?

2 cups cilantro leaves
3 cloves minced garlic
1 TB lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Put cilantro and garlic in a food processor. With the motor running add the olive oil and lemon juice, processing until the cilantro is pureed. Add salt and pepper. This will keep in the fridge for a couple of days.

Engagement/Lemon Chicken

Isn't that one of the tastiest & easiest dishes to do? I've made it a couple of times after I read about it in a magazine (Glamour or Cosmo, I think).

I've been thinking of doing a Lime Chicken using a bit of tequila with it for a variation of Engagement/Lemon chicken.

I shouldn't have come on this thread to see what was new...You all are making me hungry ( & I don't feel like cooking)..lol!
Is the Engagement/Lemon Chicken kid friendly(meaning mine are very picky!)?

Hey Timesawastin! Yes it's easy to make and very kid friendly,i'd say. My 7 year old nephew who is a fairly picky eater(his idea of chicken is nuggets or strips and won't eat any other kind) was picking this off the carcuss! Let me know if you want the recipe or you can do a search for Engagement Chicken and find it!
And Gern that sound so good with the tequilla and lime! Maybe add some ginger or garlic? If you make it let me know how it turns out so I can do it too!

The ginger or garlic suggestion is a good idea. I wasn't sure what else to use except salt!

Timesawastin, Engagement chicken is really easy! Plus you can serve it at a casual dinner or a dinner party. It is an excellent standby recipe if you get last minute company too!

Mine is beer macaroni
will post recipe later

Ok, this is mine. A favorite for catering jobs......one that I got from a really good restaurant in Harrisburg. A fair amount of work, but alot of raves. Veggielover.....I have made the mushrooms royal many times, and love them. I think they came out of the old Betty Crocker cookbook, which gives you a clue to my age

1 tablespoons ROSEMARY LEAVES
1/2 tablespoon THYME
Pour over your pork and liver mixture and mix

Scoop into your prepared pans. The mix should
come approximately one inch from the top of the
pans. Use larger or smaller loaf pans to get it
just right.
Place pans in preheated oven.
One hour on timer
Check your biggest paté with the tip of a paring
knife, near the center. If the juice is pink, the
paté is not done. If the juice is clear, the paté
is done.
Cool the patés. Do not drain them. The cooling
paté will reabsorb the juices.
