Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 * Exported from MasterCook * Braised Leeks And Mushrooms Recipe By : Vegetarian Times Complete Thanksgiving Cookbook, page 138 Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Menu 2 Side Dishes Vegetables Vegetarian Times Thanksgiving Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1/4 cup dry sherry 1 teaspoon olive oil 5 cups thinly sliced leeks -- (see Hint) 1 cup thinly sliced fresh wild mushrooms such as chanterelle or shiitake caps 1 teaspoon fresh orange juice 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar Salt or herbal salt substitute -- to taste freshly ground black pepper -- to taste MAKES 6 SERVINGS Wild mushrooms lend a distinct flavor to this dish. If using shiitake mushrooms, take care to use only the caps. The stems are usually tough; reserve them to make stock. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine sherry and oil. Heat to simmering, then add leeks. Saute, stirring frequently, 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and saute 5 minutes, or until mushrooms exude moisture. Stir in orange juice, orange peel and vinegar. Remove from heat. Add seasonings and serve warm. HELPFUL HINT: To prepare leeks, slice in half lengthwise. Wash well, making sure to remove the dirt that often is lodged between layers.
