This recipe lends itself well to a picnic because it can be made a couple days ahead and can be packed easily. If you cannot find any type of wild mushroom, then use chopped portabellas or the white button mushrooms. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

3-4 T. extra virgin olive oil<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3 C. mixed, fresh wild mushrooms (chanterelles, shitaki, crimini), cleaned and coarsely chopped<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 clove of garlic, minced<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 green onions, thinly sliced<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1-8 oz. package low-fat cream cheese<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 T. soy sauce<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 T. non-fat sour cream<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 T. sherry<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 C. walnuts, toasted and finely chopped<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 C. chopped Italian parsley <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Heat a heavy bottomed saute pan over medium for approximately 20-30 seconds. (The objective is to heat the pan enough before adding oil so the vegetables won’t stick). Add 2 T. of olive oil and tip pan to coat the bottom. Quickly add garlic and green onions and saute for 1-2 minutes then remove and reserve. Add remaining oil and mushrooms, shaking pan regularly. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until mushrooms release their juices. Remove from heat and cool. Meanwhile, place green onions, garlic and remaining ingredients except walnuts and parsley in the bowl of a food processor. Mix until smooth and creamy. Stir into the cooled mushrooms, adding the walnuts and parsley as you mix the ingredients together. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Crostini <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These easy toasts can be made several days ahead if stored in an airtight container. They are also wonderful to keep on hand to serve with marinated goat cheese for unexpected guests. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

1 small baguette<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

small amount of extra virgin olive oil <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Preheat oven to 375F. Slice bread into 1\/4 inch thickness. Lightly brush with olive oil on one side and place oiled side up on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes then turn over to lightly brown the other side. Remove and cool completely before storing. Will make enough for this picnic plus leftovers.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
