I wanted to serve a festive vegetarian dish for Christmas from Mexico and found a recipe that uses mushrooms to create a filling similar to the traditional pork based stuffing. I played with ingredients to achieve the flavors I remembered and I think it came out rather well
This is the best of all the mushroom sauces I've tried. If the price of dried mushrooms is daunting, you can dry your own on purpose or by default (mine dried nicely in a forgotten paper bag in the refrigerator!)
Squash, white beans and chestnuts (!) on a bed of caramelized onions, with an herbed bread crumb topping. Lucy's mother made this special dish for Thanksgiving.
