MUSHROOMS CROUSTADES

 

The rich mushroom flavor of this filling is heightened by the addition of Worcestershire sauce.

 

Serves: 2-4

 

Ingredients:

1 short French stick, about 25 cm/10in

10ml/2 tsp olive oil

250 g/9oz/ 3 cups chopped mushrooms quartered

10ml/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

10ml/2 tsp lemon juice

30ml/2 tbsp skimmed milk

30ml/2 tbsp snipped fresh chives

salt and black pepper

snipped fresh chives, to garnish

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 200 degree C/400 degree/Gas 6. Cut the French bread in half lengthways. Cut a scoop out of the soft middle of each, leaving a thick border all the way round.

Brush the bread with oil, place on a baking sheet and bake for about 6-8 minutes, until golden and crisp.

Place the mushrooms in a small saucepan with the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and milk. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid is evaporated.

Remove from the heat, then add the chives and seasoning. Spoon into the bread croustades and serve hot, garnished with snipped chives.

Words of Inspiration

Rise High

 

In his book, “A View from the Zoo”, Gary Richmond describes how a newborn giraffe learns its first lesson.

 

The mother giraffe lowers her head long enough to take a quick look. Then she positions herself directly over her calf. She waits for about a minute, and then she does the most unreasonable thing. She swings her long, pendulous leg outward and kicks her baby, so that it is sent sprawling head over heels. When it doesn’t get up, the violent process is repeated over and over again. The struggle to rise is momentous. As the baby calf grows tired, the mother kicks it again to stimulate its efforts. Finally, the calf stands for the first time on its wobbly legs.

 

Then the mother giraffe does the most remarkable thing. She kicks it off its feet again. Why? She wants it to remember how it got up. In the wild, baby giraffes must be able to get up as quickly as possible to stay with the herd, where there is safety. Lions, hyenas, leopards, and wild hunting dogs all enjoy young giraffes, and they’d get it too, if the mother didn’t teach her calf to get up quickly and get with it.

 

The late Irving Stone understood this. He spent a lifetime studying greatness, writing novelized biographies of such men as Michelangelo, Vincent van Gogh, Sigmund Freud, and Charles Darwin.

 

Its time for you to rise over all odds, inspite of being knocked down and vilified, for years. Stand up inspite of being knocked down. In the end you will reach your goal.
