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.

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).
