  1. We loved this. You really have to like mushrooms to enjoy this dish. It is packed full of them. I served it over spatzle. Made for "Top favorites of 2009" tag game. Thanks for posting. :)
     
  2. This deserves 10 stars! I only changed one thing- used Vidalia onion instead of Pearl. I let it simmer all afternoon, and everyone was drooling over the aroma! My first time using cremini mushrooms, and a total success!
     
  3. This was a test-run for a newly-acquired LeCreuset enameled cast-iron casserole, so it started on the stovetop and simmered in the oven. We used Cabernet Sauvignon for the red wine. and It came out fantastic! Rich in color and fork-tender, a good balance of flavors. We're finding we love cooking with Crimini mushrooms. Made for Zaar World Tour 5.
     
  4. This is delicious! I used a dried wild mushroom mix (porcini, morel, chanterelle) and some packaged mushroom broth instead of beef broth, but every thing else the same. Served with mashed potatoes and steamed brocolli. Made this in the motorhome ktichen and it was so easy. I may try it in the crock-pot next time! Thanks for posting.

http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/527607/cookswithcattitude.jpg I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more. I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking. My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Stockingswapcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg"> <img src="http://www.caymandesigns.com/foodothers/fallswap.jpg">
