THE COUNTESS'S MUSHROOMS
     MUSHROOMS-1 - A rich treat for mushroom lovers

     This recipe originated in Ken Kelly Cooks, and is presented
     with only minor additions and changes.

INGREDIENTS (serves 2 gluttons)
     1 lb      fresh mushrooms sliced
     4 Tbsp    butter
     2 Tbsp    flour
     2 tsp     broth
     11/2 cups sour cream
     2 Tbsp    lemon juice
     1 tsp     garlic powder
     2 tsp     onion powder
     1/2 tsp   nutmeg
     1/2 tsp   tarragon
     1/4 tsp   curry powder
     1/2 tsp   black pepper, fresh ground
     1/4 tsp   salt (or to taste)

PROCEDURE
          (1)  In a large frypan, melt the butter.  Saut' mush-
               rooms in butter until tender (about 5 minutes).

          (2)  Mix flour and chicken base together.  Sprinkle
               over mushrooms.  Cook one more minute, stirring.

          (3)  Add sour cream, lemon juice, and all seasonings.
               Cook 2 to 3 minutes more, stirring.

NOTES
     We use chicken broth or chicken bouillon. If you use a
     vegetable broth this is a vegetarian dish.

     If you can resist digging in right away, cook this ahead of
     time to give the flavors a chance to mellow.  At serving
     time, rewarm carefully over low heat.  This is wonderful as
     a main dish served over rice, noodles or fettucini Alfredo.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 15 minutes preparation, 10 minutes
     cooking.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
