SAUTEED MUSHROOMS RECIPE

Mushroom Soup

Personally I'm crazy about soups. Particularly Sauteed Mushrooms Recipe soup. Soups are so easy to cook, so delicious, and you can get a whole meal in one. Slow-food-made-fast is our theme.

Sauteed Mushroom Recipe makes one of my favourite soups. It's low in calories (unless you like to add cream!), high in nutrition, particularly that elusive anti-oxidant Selenium that has been shown to be a wonder mineral (and quite hard to get in your diet), and the essential B-complex vitamins.

If you have read other pages on this site, you will know that I hate exactly prescribed recipes. This one is no different. Add a bit of this and that.

Mushrooms go particularly well with chicken, so if you aren't a vegetarian, I suggest you start by making up our easy chicken bone stock. The alternative is chicken cubes that have nasty chemical preservatives. Read more about the value of gelatine in Chicken bone stock …good for arthritis sufferers. GELATINE POWDER > >

Basic Ingredients

A couple of large potatoes, peeled if they are old, and chopped.
A large punnet of mushrooms
A chopped onion
Our easy to make Chicken bones stock >>
1 cup of milk, or double-thick cream, if you like it creamy and disgustingly delicious.

Optional ingredients

Let your imagination run wild!

Carrot
Celery
Garlic
Any herbs (like thyme, parsley) and spices you like, but remember that the mushroom flavour is delicate. Don't drown it.
A dash of Sherry?

Next? For your Sauteed Mushroom Recipe ...

Chop the potatoes, carrot and onion and any other veg you want to add. A stick of celery is nice. Tonight (I've just made my Sauteed Mushrooms recipe, hot off the press, it really does work!) I've added a sweet potato. Delic.
Lightly saute the onion and a clove of garlic in some butter, or olive oil if your cholesterol is high.
Into a large pot add the chicken broth that you've been boiling on the other plate, the potato, onion, carrot and .. whatever. Boil for about 15 minutes.
Meantime wash and chop the mushrooms, and pour them into the pot you just used for the onions. Add a bit more olive oil or butter and saute. Lightly sauteed mushrooms recipe remember!
Scoop the mushrooms and all the butter into the potato mix, boil for a couple minutes, and add a slosh of port (or sherry) if your cholesterol is high and you don't have gout.
Partially liquidise to the consistency you like.
Add the milk (cream), salt and pepper, your favourite herbs and another clove of garlic (or three!) and simmer until you cannot resist the smell any longer!
Sprinkle with a litte parsley.

The slap-up breakfast from our Sauteed Mushrooms Recipe book.

Always start with the liquid portion of your breakfast. Freshly squeezed fruit juice, a glass of water, a couple cups of tea, a favourite here in Holland is "karne melk" (soured milk).

Why BEFORE breakfast … ? INDIGESTION HEARTBURN >>

Next enjoy a piece of fruit. Fruit after dinner often causes fermentation in the stomach and a sour feeling. Before breakfast is prima! Whatever fruit is in season is, of course, just fine, but my all time favourite is an APPLE. Why?

It really does keep the doctor away … APPLE DIET >>

Slice up an onion and a clove or two of garlic, and fry slowly over a low heat. Chuck in a couple of tomatoes, and slice in a few slithers of lemon rind. Cover and cook over low heat once it's boiling merrily. Delic. Add a little water to stop it from burning. Yes, you've read it so many times on this site, a man must eat a tomato every day of his life.

Partially microwave a large potato, slice it thinly, and drop it into a frying pan with a little hot olive oil. Know why olive oil is the best oil in the world?

And now of course the sauteed mushrooms recipe. Wash and chop up your mushrooms, and leave to drain. Meantime, get another large frying pan, add some butter Why not margarine … ? HYDROGENATED FOODS >> and turn the pan onto high heat.

Also get another pan ready for fried eggs, and put the bread in the toaster. Yes, I regret, a lot of washing up after our slap-up-breakfast! By now the family will have appeared, those smells are irresistable, so get them to set the table on the patio (if it's summer!) and to make a start on their juice and apple. Put on the Fifth, or your favourite Sunday morning music.

Toss the mushrooms for your sauteed mushrooms recipe into their pan, on high heat, throw in a few cloves of chopped garlic, and drop the eggs into their pan.

Come and get it! That's what I call a slap-up sauteed mushrooms recipe with all the trimmings. The kitchen wallah is going to need some help getting all the food onto the table. Relax and enjoy your Sunday morning slap-up breakfast with the family. After the rush and bustle of the week, the hurried shovelled-down breakfasts, you owe to yourself and your family to enjoy a treat. A healthy treat. If you're a Christian don't forget to give thanks, of course, or whatever deity you worship. As a great Jewish prophet said, "As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord." Amen and tuck in!

Afterwards, many hands make light work when it comes to cleaning up the mess.

"Did you ever see the customers in health-food stores? They are pale, skinny people who look half dead. In a steak house,you see robust, ruddy people. They're dying, of course, but they look terrific."

- the inimitable Bill Cosby.

So, are you pale and skinny and do you look half dead? Do you look terrific, but you're dying?!!! And aren't the pale and skinny people also dying?

It's a valid point Cosby is bringing up. Can we look terrific and not be dying at a rate of knots? Personally, I'm also not a great health-food store person. But then I'm also not a McDonald fan either!

Slow-food made fast is the way forward. Take your vitamins and minerals because we live in a soil-denatured world. Eat your steak but try and get it straight from the prairies, not the feeding-lot grain-fed, hormone-pumped variety.

FOOT PAIN?

An aside

Perhaps because I was born and brought up in Africa where literally, no exaggeration, more than a million children die every year of starvation, I love to scour the Rotterdam market.

Today, hunting for my Sauteed Mushrooms Recipe, I bought two punnets of mushrooms (500g each), both for € 1.00 (or $1.28 according to XE, they claim the world's favourite currency converter.) xe.com Yes, it's true the mushrooms were on the turn. I knew that I had to use them today, or at the latest tomorrow, but they were absolutely fine for my SAUTEED MUSHROOMS RECIPE, even if they're slightly past their sell-by-date.

Just how much good food do you throw away? According to the BBC, the average Englishman ditches about 30% of the food he buys. Perhaps eat and finish that mushroom soup, or save it for tomorrow instead of discarding, and make a contribution to Africa Enterprise's Street-Children project .

Tis more blessed to give than to receive. African Enterprise Ghana street children's fund.

Poor dear, she's really losing it. She even forgotten that dearly beloved's name was Dick!

Have a good day! Eat some more mushrooms. I bought 500g fresh mushrooms yesterday, and I'm about to indulge in our SAUTEED MUSHROOMS RECIPE for my Sunday morning brunch. Delic. And along with the fried tomatoes, hopefully I'll escape the dreaded Big C.
