Low Fat Mushroom Recipes

Ingredients:

2 cup water
2 vegetable bouillon cube
1 can mushrooms and pieces
1 onion flakes
1 garlic granules
1 herbs
1 cup kasha
1 egg substitute

Instructions:

Boil 2 cups of water in a small saucepan. When it boils, add 1 veggie
bouillon cube (can't recall the brand, it comes 2 cubes in an adorable
little box for usually 99 cents a box at my HFS). Add contents of one
small can of mushroom "stems and pieces" including the liquid. Add some
herbs to taste -- I threw in onion flakes, garlic granules, and can't
remember which green dried herbs. Cover the pan so it doesn't reduce too
much -- you need 2 cups liquid to 1 cup kasha. (I didn't add salt because
the veggie cube has enough.)

While the broth is coming to a boil, put 1 cup of kasha (I like the whole
grains and also medium-cracked grains) in a larger saucepan over medium
heat. Add 1 egg substitute (I use EnerG). Stir well over heat until the
grains get dry again (the same as you probably used to do with a real egg).
Take the kasha pot off heat and hold it away from yourself, and pour in the
simmering flavored broth (it can really spatter if you leave it over heat
while adding the hot broth to the hot kasha.) Stir once, put over low heat,
and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

This makes a LOT, for those of you not familiar with kasha. We had this
with a baked butternut (I think) squash and small green salads for 3 adults
and couldn't finish it, which was great as it provided me with kasha
leftovers to reheat for next day's (still delicious) lunch, from just 1 cup
of raw kasha.
