Title: Vegetarian Cassoulet #2
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients
4 oz shiitake mushrooms
8 oz mushrooms
2 1/2 tb olive oil
3 lg garlic cloves; chopped
1 cn diced tomatoes; (14 1/2-oz.)
- drained
2 tb water
1 ts dried thyme; crumbled
1 tb dried basil
1 pk frozen pearl onions;
-(10-oz.)
1 salt and pepper; to taste
4 c cooked white beans
1/4 c bread crumbs
Instructions
Cut Shitake mushrooms into small pieces. Discard the stems. The white
mushrooms should be halved.
Cook the beans.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, heavy, nonreactive casserole over
medium
heat. Stir in the garlic and saute for 10 seconds. Then add the tomatoes
and cook 1 minute over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons water, Shitake
mushrooms and the herbs. Stir and bring to a slow boil. Add the baby
onions, white mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Stir the mixture
and return to a boil. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 10
minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Gently mix in the beans and heat
through on low heat. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
Heat the broiler. Spoon the mixture into a 9 or 10-cup casserole. Sprinkle
with the bread crumbs. You may also sprinkle with 1 tablespoon oil. Broil
about 1 minute or until the crumbs brown. WATCH CAREFULLY SO THIS DOES
NOT BURN.

NOTES : Betsy Burtiss posted the original of this recipe a while back. I
tried it with some modifications. The truth is, I had the dried
beans and went shopping for the other ingredients without the
recipe, so I didn't really know what to get. I did know the recipe
called for wild mushrooms, but I didn't find such so used shitake.
In any case, my version was delicious, as I expect the original
would have been also.
