And even better with wine 🙂

I quickly finished up the recipe and headed downtown on foot to meet the new editor of Breathe for a meeting.

The walk was out-of-this world. I felt like I was strolling through a Georgia beach town – the air was balmy and warm and the breezes blowing. So beautiful!!!

I had a decaf cappuccino during the meeting and then padded home for dinner.

shot_1321304705450Blog

Of course the shrooms were repurposed for dinner! Can’t let anything go to waste. [I shared some with our porch crew too so they didn’t all go to waist either!]

IMG_0989Blog

I reheated the mushrooms in the oven for 15 minutes at 350* – they heated nicely!

IMG_0992Blog

They were served swimming in a sea of red lentils. I used to eat lentils all the time and forgot about them! They rock and are so delicious. These were cooked in a 2:1 water to lentil ratio with a half cup of leftover coconut milk, a quarter cup of tomato paste, and 1/2 tsp each of smoked paprika, turmeric, garam masala and salt. Some cinnamon and curry powder would do too!

Hiding on the other side was some simple steamed kale that I dressed in some tamari [soy sauce].

IMG_0988Blog

This meal’s flavors were random, but it came together so nicely!

IMG_0984Blog

Matt just installed our new programmable thermostat!!! And now we’re going to watch the SIMPSONS! I hear food blogging made a grand appearance :mrgreen:

    The picture of the lemon-almond-honey “batter” has sage written on it, but then the ingredients list rosemary? Is sage then in both versions? Or is it rosemary in one, sage in the other?

    I’m just wondering about the bacon you used. With all the nitrates and additives + heaps of sodium that tend to be found in bacon, I stay away from it. Is this bacon better in some way?

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      November 15, 2011 at 9:43 am

      This was local bacon from a farm here in Cville. I’m not sure about the nitrite content, but I’d rather choose local pasture pork than a mass-marketed version. I’ll see if I can find out more the next time I’m at the butcher.

    Thanks for your recipe. They were a bit time consuming for me, but totally worth it.
    I made these ‘shrooms for a Christmas party last Dec, and they were amazing. Everyone gobbled them up, even two guys who don’t like mushrooms! (I wanted to make the lemon almond honey ones, but opted for a double batch of bacon since I thought they would be more popular with the group.) If you want a gourmet recipe for mouthwatering stuffed mushrooms, here it is!!! MMM.
