!!!

harro! here's a super simple recipe i invented for my mom's birthday last weekend (i'm not sure if it even counts as a recipe, really, but it was tasty!).

Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms (serves 3)
INGREDIENTS
-3 big portabello mushrooms
-6 wedges of Laughing Cow Cheese, Garlic & Onion Flavor, at room temperature and stirred together in a bowl until creamy and spreadable.
-3 cups spinach
-1/4 cup walnut pieces

DIRECTIONS
-roast mushrooms until cooked through at 400. this took about 15 minutes in our oven.
-wilt spinach in microwave
-layer wilted spinach onto mushrooms (i used just enough to cover the mushroom, essentially...it really depends on how much you like spinach!)
-spread a thick layer of cheese on each mushroom
-top with a layer of walnut pieces
-broil for about 45 seconds!


I served it with this salad, to which i added a can of chick peas, 3 T sugar, and a dash of soy sauce (well, i used bragg's liquid aminos) to taste--http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/02/weekinreview/02recipes-3.html . also, according to my parents it went really well with champagne!

Portuguese Sweet Bread

1 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons margarine
1/3 cup white sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

1.In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a large greased bowl, and turn the dough to coat. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

I like to braid it and brush with egg before I pop it in the oven.
