This is a recipe I created myself for our Prime Rib Christmas Dinner (2002). It turned out very good. You may vary any of the ingredients to your liking. this was a first attempt. As I make it more often I will update this recipe. Sorry, it's not exact.
2 pkg (I think they were 6 oz.) Portobello Mushrooms
2 - 3 Tbsp. of Butter
1/4 cup Cream ( I think that's about all I added, use your discretion.
1/3 cup Red Wine (I ended up adding a little more to taste)
1/2 cup beef broth
Salt & Pepper
2-3 Tbsp (if not more)Merlot Sauce from Tastefully Simple (you may use worcestershire sauce instead.)
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1 14oz Can of Artichokes - drain & coarsely chopped
1/2 cup steamed spinach
1/4 cup mayonaise
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup romano cheese
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 tsp dry basil or 1 Tbsp fresh basil
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 tsp garlic salt
salt & pepper to taste
Again, another Suzanne Somers recipe from her book "Eat Great, Lose Weight" This is another one of my favorite recipes. I can make it and eat it throughout the week.
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 medium cucumber, chopped
8 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (it's great with regular olive oil too)
Juice from 1/2 lemon
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
a pinch of dried oregano
a couple of sprigs of fresh basil
Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, and red onion in a medium bowl. Mix, and then drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice. Grind the black pepper over the top of the salad, sprinkle with a touch of oregano and garnish and basil sprigs. Adjust seasonings to taste. Add Greek Olives, if you like.
