Day 293: Carrots & Mushroom Ragout
The idea here was a hearty vegetarian supper, as suggested by the inspiring cookbook, Vegetarian Suppers , a favorite during my meatless years. Instead, the carrot and mushroom combination seemed much more like a savory vegetable side dish. What might have made it more supper-ish? More sauce perhaps, to soak into rice or a grain or even mashed potatoes. And honestly, I think the ragout would be delicious with chunks of cooked lamb. Oh dear, so much for good vegetarian intentions! NEXT TIME I'd skip the raisins which added little and were slightly odd paired with mushrooms. NUTRITION NOTES Skipping the currants drops the dish into 'low carb' territory. FROM THE ARCHIVES For other vegetarian supper ideas, see here in the Recipe Box .
