Make your own marinated button mushrooms

From page 47

Yq cup chopped parsley

Ya cup chopped fresh dill or 1 ta-
blespoun dried dili

Y2 pound butter

i-pound package prepared phyllo
dough

Mix the ingredients for the fill-
ing. Now, caim down. These are
reaily easy to make.

Put a couple of sheets of waxed
paper on your counter. Open the
phyllo package and unwrap the
dough.

Now you must work quickly as
the dough will dry out in very lit-
tle time.

Place a sheet of dough on the
counter and quickly brush it with
some of the melted butter. Place
another sheet on top of the first
and brush it with a little more
butter.

Piace 2 tablespoons of filling at
the narrow end of the dough and
begin to roll it up in the dough.
Use wide rolls rather than narrow
ones.

After two rolls, fold one side to
the centre. Roll one more time
and fold the other side to the cen-
tre, thus giving you a neat
package.

Continue rolling and place the
package, seam side down, on an
oiled baking sheet. Brusi: the top
with more butter and continue
with the next one.

Bake at 400°F for 25 to 3¢
minutes or until the pies are a
light golden brown. Serve warm.
STEAMED MUSTARD SHRIMP

(Serves 4 as an appetizer)

This is messy. You need lots of
beer. Eat from papers on the
table. Otherwise enjoy a really
fine shrimp dish.

. 1 pound medium shrimp, shells on
(26 to 30 per pound)
3 tablespoons dry mustard
Y2 teaspoon dried thyme, whole
Salt to taste (very litile)
GARNISH
Chopped parsley

Place half the shrimp in the
bottom of a metal steamer rack.
Sprinkle with half the mustard,
half the thyme and a tiny bit of
salt. Top with the remaining
shrimp, mustard, thyme and salt.

Steam the shrimp until just
firm, about 7 minutes. Move the
shrimp around halfway through
the cooking time. Garnish with
chopped parsley.

MARINATED BUTTON
MUSHROOMS
(Serves 6-8 as an appetizer)

I love these things and you will
like them much better than those
you find pre-marinated and soak-
ed in too much vinegar — the
ones found in a bottle at the
supermarket.

1 pound large button mushrooms
% cup olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and freshly ground biack
Pepper to taste

Trim the stems off the
mushrooms and save for another
use.

Bring a large pot of water to a
boil and blanch the mushrooms
for 2 minutes. Remove and drain
very well.

Mix the remaining ingredients
together in a medium-sized bow!
and add the drained mushrooms
while they're still hot. Toss
together and allow to marinate in
the refrigerator for 4 hours.

Toss the mushrooms a couple *

of times while marinating. Serve
as an hors d’ceuvre with
toothpicks.

his past April, Time magazine ran

a provocative cover story on “The
Real Power of Vitamins.” It suggested that
the nutrients in food supplements play “a
much more complex role in assuring vital-
ity and optimal health than previously
thought. Vitamins may protect against a
host of ills ranging from birth defects and
cataracts to heart disease and cancer.” The
article even held out hope that vitamins
may “stave off the ravages of aging.”

Time states that research exploring the
potential of vitamins and supplements in
disease prevention was well on its way to
respectability by the late 1980s (despite
reluctance of government and drug com-
panies to fund such research).
