No-Potato Salad

Serves 8

  1 lb green beans chopped into half inch pieces

  1 medium red onion, chopped

  1 orange (or red) bell pepper, chopped

  1/3 cup olive oil

  1/2 cup mayonnaise

      salt & pepper to taste

Place water in  a large pot, salt the water and bring to a rolling boil.

Add the green beans and cook for 8-10 minutes or till they are cooked

but still crisp.

Place the raw onion in a large mixing bowl, drain the green beans and

add to the onions, mixing well.

The heat of the beans will cook the onions slightly.

Add the bell pepper, salt and pepper to taste.

Add the olive oil and stir well.

Incorporate the mayo.

You may add some mustard or vinegar if desired.

Serve warm or set the mixture aside till it cools.

It can be made ahead and will keep 2 days in the fridge.

's Magical Mushrooms

    1 cup  heavy cream

  1/4 cup  sour cream

    1 TBSP fresh squeezed lemon juice

  1/2 tsp  salt

   dash of black pepper

  1/4 tsp  Dijon mustard

    1 lbs  sliced mushrooms

  1/4 cup  very finely diced red onion

  1/4 cup  very finely diced fresh parsley

Using a heavy saucepan, bring the cream just to a boil, then lower the

heat

so that it simmers slowly for about 30 minutes.

The cream will thicken and turn slightly yellow in color.

Be sure to stir it occasionally.

Slice the mushrooms into bite size pieces, and combine with the finely

diced red onion and parsley (I used my food processor for the onion and

parsley).

Once the cream has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the

sour

cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Pour the cream

mixture

over the mushroom mixture and toss gently.

I served this with warm pita bread, in which I stuffed a piece of fresh

spinach, then filled it with the mushroom mix.  Its really good
