125. g Couscous (4 Oz)

1 Lemon,Grated Rind And Juice

75. g Vegetable Margarine Or Butter (3 Oz)

275. g Flat Or Cup Mushrooms, Wiped And Sliced (8-

10 Oz)

10. ml Dijon Mustard (2 Level Tsp)

25. g Pine Nuts (1 Oz)

Flat mushrooms give a delicious flavour to the fricassee, but can

make the sauce very dark - a half and-half mixture of cup and flat

mushrooms is best.

 

1 Bring 150 ml (¼ pint) water to the boil and pour over the

couscous. Add the lemon rind, season with salt and pepper and leave

to soak for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 

2 Heat 50 g (2 oz) of the margarine or butter in a frying pan, add

the mushrooms and fry quickly until just beginning to soften.

 

3 Stir in the flour and milk and bring to the boil. Cook for 1-2

minutes, adding a little

more milk if it's too thick. Remove from the heat and stir in the

mustard and 10 ml (2 tsp) lemon juice. Taste and adjust the

seasoning.

 

4 Meanwhile, heat the remaining margarine or butter in a separate

frying pan. Add the pine nuts and couscous and cook over a high

heat, stirring occasionally, until piping hot. Season and serve with

the mushrooms.
