  1. Don't know how this tastes in New Oleans, it did taste great in Holland. Easy dish, with an elegant result. I used a good cup fresh mushrooms, which were reduced to about half a cup after sauteeing them, the mushroom liquid I replaced with some light chicken stock. I used a little less flour because I made the sauce in advance and then it thickens a bit more.
     
  2. I made this tonight for dinner and was quite impressed! I actually got my husband to eat tomatoes! Since I am pregnant, I did not use the red wine -- instead I substituted the same amount of red wine for chicken stock and added one teaspoon of vinegar (for the acidity). I have also used a cup of fresh mushrooms as suggested by a previous reviewer and replaced the mushroom liquid with chicken stock. Thank you for posting this recipe.
