Let me just say I love mushrooms too in any way shape or form. But I will have to agree with Lavender Lynn, these were a little boring. I am not sure what it needs to perk up though. I cut my mushrooms in 4 because they were too big, and I forgot to put fresh parsley on for the garnish before I took the pic. Made for the ZWT5

The aroma of onions and garlic cooking in imported Amontillado filled the kitchen and promised great things. The final product was quite good but very subtle, almost bland, by comparison. I was expecting galloping wild horses and you handed me a purring kitten! This would be a great appetizer addition to a Mediterranean buffet and will be enjoyed most by the guests who weren't in the kitchen. Made for ZWT5.
