I know this recipe well, it is one of our favorite (I have it in a beatiful

small Lorna Sass cookbook, Shortcut Vegetarian).

It is very good if you omit the mushrooms or the carrots (or both) as well

:-)

I don't remember where I got this from, so I'm glad to hear it's from a

particular cookbook. I LOVE mushrooms (I add them to lots of things)

so to me that would take away from it!

Jann, I like it better withOUT mushrooms, as I don't love them very much :-D

I suppose you can judge a good recipe by its ability to absorb adaptation!

 

I love that book: it is small, but every single recipe in it has given me

good results.
