Submitted by Ms B.

"A very tasty and easy side dish. My husband likes this topped with a grating for parmesan cheese. Toasted walnuts are also a nice touch for presentation."

What a fantastic recipe. I followed recipe to the word and was not disappointed. I made this as a side dish with the Lamb Shank with Garlic and Port Wine from this website. Recipe can easily be served as a main dish. I think that a good alteration would be to add some parmesan shavings and rocket leaves.

I loved it! Simple ingredients but wordeful taste! I used water instead of broth and added one clove of garlic minced. Fresh mushrooms are always a winner! Thanks ms bold, for sharing!

This is a dish that my Aunt Florence made and I copied but I didn't use the chicken stock. I will next time though. I love to serve this with a main course that has a more powerful flavor, like a tangy, sweet or savory chicken, lamb or pork dish. Thanks!
