    Forest-Mushroom Dip


    Source of Recipe


    Aunt Saunny

    This is another dip that delivers great taste while keeping the fat in check. If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the mushrooms by hand.

    2 (6-ounce) packages portobello mushroom caps, quartered
    1 (8-ounce) package button mushrooms
    1 garlic clove, halved
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    1 teaspoon dried thyme
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup (2 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon black pepper
    1/2 cup (2 ounces) finely shredded smoked gouda cheese
    1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
    3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    1 tablespoon green-onion tops (optional)

    Instructions:
    1. Place half of the mushrooms in a food processor, and process until finely chopped. Spoon chopped mushrooms into a large skillet. Place the remaining mushrooms and garlic in processor, and process until finely chopped. Spoon mushroom mixture into pan; add wine and thyme. Cook over medium-high heat for 10 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Sprinkle the mixture with flour, and stir well. Stir in cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; cook 1 minute. Spoon into a serving bowl; cover and cool.
    2. Stir in gouda, sour cream, and parsley. Sprinkle with green-onion tops, if desired. Cover and chill. Yield: 3 cups (serving size: 1/4 cup).
