Sorry, I made a mistake in the address- it is nbvm, not nbum. Anyway,
here is the recipe.
A Platter of Broiled Portabella Mushrooms with Nectar of Mango and
Nubile Carrots
Ingredients
One 4-6 inch Portabella mushroom per person
One 26 oz. jar of mango slices in water-based syrup
Whole baby carrots, peeled and washed
olive oil
ground thyme
fresh ground black pepper
ground Szeged paprika (Szeged is top quality)
salt to taste
Step 1: Marinade
Two hours before cooking, remove stems from mushrooms and lay caps
gill side up in a shallow pan. Drain syrup from the mango slices and
pour syrup over mushrooms, allowing syrup to flow into gills. Slice
stems lengthwise and brush with mango marinade. Slices should be thick,
not thin. Cover and let stand at cool temperature for two hours.
Step 2
Move mushroom caps and stems to a flat roasting pan. Begin with gill
side up (towards flame). Sprinkle with ground thyme. *Broil for
approximately six minutes, gills towards flame.
Step 3
Remove mushrooms from broiler and turn. Quickly brush top of mushroom
caps and stems with olive oil( Ihave an olive oil spray). Sprinkle
liberally with ground thyme. Grind black pepper over mushrooms. Sprinkle
liberally with paprika. Return mushrooms to broiler, top of caps toward
flame. *Broil 6 minutes.
*(The broiling time will depend on the type of broiler used. These
instructions assume an overhead, gas flame broiler with the mushrooms
about four inches from the flame.)
Step 4
While the mushroom broils, steam baby carrots to taste. If fats are
not a problem( but we know they are), melt some butter, puree a slice
of mango, work into melted butter and pour over carrots just prior to
serving.
Step 5
On a large platter, arrange the broiled Portabella mushrooms in the
center. To one side, stack the steamed baby carrots. To the other side,
lay the mango slices and serve.
