Peel or wash the mushrooms, and put them, cup upward, on a fine wire
broiler and let them broil over a hot fire for five or six minutes,
putting a pinch of salt in each cup. As soon as hot, remove them from
the broiler and serve on hot plates, taking care not to spill the
juice which has formed in the cups. Garnish with watercress or parsley.
MUSHROOMS SUR CLOCHE
Place carefully cleaned mushrooms, cup upward, on individual gratin
dishes, salt each, and place a bit of butter in the cup, and set in a
hot oven for ten minutes. To serve, place over each a glass "bell,"
which can be bought for this purpose. The heat is thus retained in
the mushrooms during service.
MUSHROOMS IN CASSEROLE
Put into a French or Italian casserole 1/2 cup of good butter, and when
melted stir into it 3/4 of a pound, or a pound, of peeled mushrooms,
and dredge well with pepper and salt. Cover the casserole and set it
in the oven; after five minutes' cooking stir the mushrooms, mixing
them well with the butter, replace the cover, and repeat the process
in another five minutes; let cook ten minutes more, and serve from
the casserole on rounds of toast.
FILLED MUSHROOMS
Select 10 of the largest, most cup-shaped from 1 1/2 pounds of
mushrooms. Peel and lay in a shallow pan, cup side up. Take the cleaned
stems and the remaining mushrooms and chop fine and put them in the
cups; add 1 teaspoon of melted butter, some pepper and salt to each,
and let bake ten minutes or until done. Serve on toast garnished with
watercress, or under the glass bells already mentioned.
MUSHROOMS WITH TRUFFLES
Toss truffles in butter in a hot frying pan for five minutes,
sprinkle the cups of mushrooms with pepper and salt, fill them with
the truffles, and cook for ten minutes in a covered pan in a hot oven;
serve on crisp lettuce leaves, with parsley butter.
MUSHROOMS WITH PEAS
Fill the cups of large mushrooms with French canned peas, which
have been tossed for five minutes in hot butter. Season and set in
a covered pan in a hot oven for ten minutes, and serve on toast with
white or brown sauce, as preferred.
MUSHROOMS WITH ONIONS
Peel 2 medium-sized onions and chop them fine, and put them in a
casserole, or saucepan, with 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Let them
cook slowly for ten minutes, then add 1 pound of mushrooms, which have
been carefully washed or peeled, and another tablespoon of butter,
and cover, letting cook for ten minutes. Season well with salt and
pepper and serve very hot.
Mushrooms thus prepared may be put in a deep baking dish, covered
with crust and baked in a pie.
MUSHROOMS WITH EGG
Put 2 tablespoons of butter in a porcelain casserole, or in a saucepan,
and when melted put with it 1 pound of peeled or washed mushrooms;
let simmer gently for ten minutes, then add to them 2 hard-boiled
eggs, cut in slices, and half a cup of cream. This recipe also is
available for a deep pie; put in a baking dish, cover with crust,
and bake until slightly browned.
