Warm Mushroom Salad (Vegetarian)

Recipe By : VEGETARIAN HEARTH by Darra Goldstein
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :
Categories : Salads

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups water
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt -- or to taste
3/4 pound white mushrooms -- trimmed
and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon freshly grated onion; generous measure
1/4 teaspoon sugar
4 tablespoons heavy cream
freshly ground white pepper
boston lettuce

In a medium saucepan bring the water, lemon juice, and salt to a boil. Add
the mushrooms, return to a boil, and simmer, covered, for 3 minutes. Drain
well.

In a medium bowl combine the grated onion, sugar, and cream. Toss with the
mushrooms. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Place several leaves of lettuce on each of four salad plates. Spoon some
mushrooms and cream over the lettuce and serve warm.

Serves 4.

Note: The mushrooms may also be served at room temperature. Spoon them over
the lettuce just before serving.


Notes: Scandinavia's late-summer mushroom salads inspired me to create this
winter version, in which a bed of cool lettuce receives a lush blanket of
warm mushrooms. *Recipes from THE VEGETARIAN HEARTH by Darra Goldstein.
