Recipe Review

LOVED! Very simple. Great taste. The lemon and the Parmesan *make* the dish. Otherwise, would be a simple stir-fry of sliced mushrooms and a bit of chopped fresh spinach. My husband is VERY tentative about cooked spinach--but it pretty much disappears amongst all the mushrooms. HE LIKED THIS DISH.

I halved the recipe, but then I think I goofed on the lemon and added too much. So it had a real tingle but was still soooo good. YUM. (PS: I don't see that this is so non-fattening, has bacon and bacon grease, but there is a note that we can save about 35 calories if we leave out the bacon.) Can't wait to make this again. Just thinking about it makes me yearn.

OH, I used (for half the recipe) 1 portobello and 2 shiitake (fairly large ones--but I removed the stems). Also, we use a fantastic bacon, Beeler's (no nitrites/nitrates, is uncured and the flavor is just to die for). We cube it and keep it in freezer for any cooking we do that uses bacon, like beans of various kinds and all kinds of things that my husband invents...like red bell pepper, bacon, cheese open grilled sandwiches. :)

This sounds amazing and just like the type of food I like. I was very interested in the bacon without nitrates and nitrites. I did not know that it exists. I am becoming sensitive to those chemicals, so thanks for that information!

You will be thrilled when you try any of Beeler's products. I had never...until our market's meat dept did a demo of the bacon. They way undercooked it...which I wasn't used to, either. I could not believe the fantastic taste. That was a few years ago. Now, all the markets in our area (ok, maybe the smaller ones--locally owned) carry Beeler. You can get the bacon in various flavors, too, like peppered. This bacon will make you swoon. I promise.
