Ospidillo Cafe Gourmet Mushrooms

Bone Man's Note:

A shockingly great appetizer or side dish. A friend of mine shared the original recipe with me and I tweaked it. If you like a good grilled steak, this is the perfect side dish and quite easy to prepare.

Oh, YUM!!! I've tried recipes using Worchestershire and other ingredients, but these are simpler and just plain better! I used sliced "baby bellas", and we fought over the last few shrooms! Thanks!

I had to sub a few things but this turned out just fabulous for us. I had to use what I had on hand (stuck at home waiting for repairmen): a bag of frozen, Trader Joe's Asian Mushroom Medley and madeira instead of red wine. Also, I used half the butter called for and only 1 beef bouillon cube. If this recipe turned out so well with those substitutions then I can only imagine how great it is prepared according to 'the plan'. I served this with sauteed skirt steak and french fries. The husband was thrilled....we have leftovers and we're planning on using them in omelettes. Thanks Bone Man for posting this recipe!
