VEGAN CHAMPIGNONS À BLANC

[Vegan Stewed Mushrooms]

...Julia says that this is how you prepare mushrooms when they are to be used in white sauces...so this is what I did for the Vegan Filets de Poisson Gratinés à la Parisienne

...first your trim and wash your mushrooms...

...then add some lemon juice and Earth Balance to water...

...then add your mushrooms and toss to cover them with the liquid...

...and then cover and boil moderately fast for about 5 minutes...and set aside until ready to use...

...and that's it...a pretty simple preliminary recipe...but since you don't actually just eat them at this point...it just sort of ends here...
