Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 This is from Rose Elliot's wonderful book " Vegetarian Fast Food " (which I highly recommend). I have altered it a little to suit my taste. Oh yes, it's not vegan - has milk products in it. 2 Tbsp margarine 8 oz - 10 oz. brown Cremini mushrooms, chopped 1-2 cloves garlic, crushed 5 oz. low fat sour cream 1 Tbsp water 2 potatoes (your choice) fresh ground black pepper to taste Potatoes: peel, chop, and put in a saucepan just covered with water. Simmer on medium high heat until they are almost mushy (doesn't take long). Drain. Sauce: meanwhile, put the margarine in a saucepan and melt over medium heat. Put the mushrooms in, stir to coat with margarine and sauté about 5 minutes. Then add garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes. When you are just about to serve, turn heat off and immediately put in the sour cream and the Tbsp of water and mix with the mushrooms. Serve on top of the potatoes. Put on a little black pepper to taste. This sauce is originally meant to be served on golden " potato steaks " or " wedges " that are half cooked and then brushed with olive oil and put under the broiler for a few minutes to brown. However, I am exceptionally lazy, so I cheat and just boil the chopped potatoes. It is a bit better with the broiled wedges, though. I've found this dish with a green salad is a good accompaniment to almost anything. It takes 10 minutes to make this. Maybe someone can come up with a vegan substitute for sour cream?
