Select large flap mushrooms for broiling. Wash, skin and stem them, lay
them on a dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour a little olive
oil over each mushroom, let them stand one hour. Broil on a gridiron
over a nice clear fire. Place on a dish and serve with the following
sauce: Prepare the stock as before by boiling the stems and skins in
water and then straining. Mince two or three mushrooms fine, add to the
stock, with a teaspoonful of minced parsley, a few drops of onion juice,
a small lump of butter, cook for fifteen minutes, then add a cupful of
cream, an even teaspoonful of flour wet with some of the cream and
rubbed smooth. Let it all cook together for three minutes, then add the
beaten yolk of an egg, stir well, remove from the fire at once and
serve.
MUSHROOMS ON TOAST.
Half a pound of mushrooms, wash, stem and skin as before. Cut into dice,
put in a saucepan with the juice of half a lemon, a tablespoonful of
butter and a slice of onion, a sprig of parsley and one clove, tied
together in a thin muslin bag. Set the saucepan on the fire and stew
gently until nearly dry, then add water almost to cover them, salt and
pepper to taste, and let them cook fifteen minutes. Take out the bag of
onion, etc., and thicken with one egg yolk well beaten, and a small
cupful of cream. Have some slices of toast on a platter, buttered and
moistened with a little hot milk, pour the mushrooms over them, garnish
with parsley and serve hot.
MUSHROOMS STEWED IN A CREAM SAUCE.
Make a pint of cream sauce, prepare half a pound of mushrooms as in the
preceding recipe, cut into dice, and stew in the sauce until very
tender. Have the toast prepared as above and pour the mushrooms over it.
Garnish with parsley and serve at once. They may be served in pastry
shells as an entree, if preferred.
TOMATOES STUFFED WITH MUSHROOMS.--No. 1.
Wash, skin and stem half a pound of mushrooms, chop very fine, add two
even teaspoonfuls of finely minced parsley, a few drops of lemon juice,
the same of onion juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Melt two
tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan and cook all together in this
until the mushrooms are tender, then add a cupful of stale bread crumbs
and one egg yolk, stir well and remove from the fire. Have half a dozen
perfectly ripe tomatoes, washed and wiped, cut a slice from the top of
each, take out the core and seeds, and fill with the mushroom stuffing.
Bake in a moderate oven until done. The skins should be removed in the
usual way before stuffing.
TOMATOES STUFFED WITH MUSHROOMS.--No. 2.
Wash and wipe the tomatoes, but do not remove the skins. Cut in half,
take out the core and a few of the seeds. Fill with the same forcemeat
as in the preceding recipe and cover the top with it, place in a pan
with a little water to keep from burning, bake in a moderate oven until
soft, remove carefully from the pan, place on a platter, garnish with
parsley and serve.
