MUSHROOMS A LA GRECQUE
A classic mushroom dish which can be served as one of several mezze dishes, or served with crusty rolls or pita bread and a favourite dip for lunch. It's served cold, and will appeal to mushroom lovers! I've adapted it from a recipe in 'Mediteranean Kitchen', and I'm posting it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.

Steps:
- Cut a cross on the base of the tomatoes, immerse them in boiling water for 20-30 seconds, then plunge them into cold water; drain and peel the skin away from the cross and, discarding the juice the and seeds (see notes below), finely chop the tomatoes.
- Place the tomatoes, oil, wine, onion, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and basil to a non-aluminium pan, add about 1 cup of water and bring to the boil; then cover and simmer for 10 minutes; then uncover the pan, add the mushrooms and simmer for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Lift out the mushroom with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving dish.
- Boil the cooking liquid rapidly until about 1 cup remains, remove the bay leaf, add the lemon juice and season with salt, pepper and sugar, to taste.
- Pour the liquid over the mushrooms, and leave the mushrooms to cool.
- Serve the mushrooms cold, sprinkled with the chopped parsley and the walnuts.
- Notes: Rather than wasting such juices or vegetable peelings, I add them to my container of ingredients for when I next make my Vegetable Stock Recipe #135453.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest mushrooms possible. Look for mushrooms that are firm and have a smooth, even cap. Avoid mushrooms that are slimy or have bruises.
- Clean the mushrooms thoroughly. Use a soft brush or a damp paper towel to remove any dirt or debris from the mushrooms.
- Slice the mushrooms evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a variety of cooking methods. Mushrooms can be sautéed, grilled, roasted, or fried. Each method will give the mushrooms a different flavor and texture.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking mushrooms, it's important to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the mushrooms will steam instead of sautéing.
- Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Add other ingredients to the mushrooms. Mushrooms can be cooked with a variety of other ingredients, such as onions, garlic, herbs, and spices. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.

Mushrooms are a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants. With so many different ways to cook them, there's sure to be a mushroom recipe that everyone will enjoy.
