Re: quick potato side dish

 

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?
