I used dried shiitake mushrooms. The button mushrooms were large so I sliced them. I added diced celery and bell peppers. Used fresh thyme. This would be great as an appetizer on fresh crusty bread slices. I put in a wrap and enjoyed it!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Chef Patience

I live in a little house with my husband and my three "puppies" (all dogs are puppies to me, no matter how old they are). We have no children as of yet. I love to cook, but not to clean, and I won't cook unless my kitchen is clean, so I don't cook as much as I should. Some of my other hobbies are: role playing games, reading, SCA, garage saleing, and sewing. I am a pack rat, but I am trying to cut back on that, and I have far too many kitchen gadgets and cookbooks.(If there is such a thing.)
