Recipe Ingredients:
Mushrooms:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound cultivated or wild mushrooms (shiitake, chanterelles or oyster mushrooms, or a combination) trimmed and quartered if small, thickly sliced if large

Freshly ground black pepper

1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), finely minced
1/4 cup finely minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
Cooking Directions:
1 – For Mushrooms: Heat a large, heavy non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add one tablespoon of the olive oil, and when it’s hot, add the mushrooms. Sear the mushrooms, stirring with a wooden spoon or tossing in the pan, until they are lightly browned and begin to exude their juices. Add salt to taste.
2 – Add the wine and continue to cook, stirring or tossing the mushrooms in the pan, until the wine has just about evaporated and the mushrooms are glazed, five to 10 minutes.
3 – Add the remaining oil, pepper to taste and the gremolata. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about one more minute. Taste and adjust salt. Serve hot.
4 – For Gremolata: Toss together all ingredients. Add to dishes shortly before serving.
Makes 2 servings as a main course; 4 servings as a first course or side dish; or 12 servings as a topping for bruschetta.
Note: Gremolata, a classic Mediterranean seasoning is a mixture of minced garlic, parsley and lemon zest, and is wonderful with pasta, with roasted and grilled vegetables, and especially with pan-cooked mushrooms.

Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
Directions

1 – Scrub baking potatoes, pierce with fork several times, and place on baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for approximately 60 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Meanwhile, place the broccoli in a small pot, add a small amount of water, and cover. Cook the broccoli until it is just tender. Drain broccoli, chop it finely, and add it to a medium mixing bowl. Add milk, cheese, black pepper, and garlic to the mixing bowl. Remove cooked baked potatoes from the oven and slice potatoes in half horizontally. Scoop out the flesh of the potato, leaving approximately 1/2 inch of flesh remaining in the skins, and place the potato flesh in the mixing bowl with the broccoli mixture.
