Marinated Mushrooms II

Marinated Mushrooms II
Allrecipes – Cristi Zbella

“This recipe was handed down to me from my Grandma. Little mushrooms are marinated in a zesty mixture. They’re great for buffet style gatherings. They keep well for a long time in the fridge, or you may can them in mason jars and store in cupboard.”

Ready In: 27 Min

Aunt Enza’s Tiramisu

Aunt Enza’s Tiramisu
Epicurious December 1996

Makes 6 servings

1 cup unsweetened espresso coffee (around 8-10 shots of espresso)
3 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup mascarpone
2 tablespoons Marsala (optional)
4 oz. soft ladyfingers
unsweetened cocoa or bittersweet chocolate for garnish

Prepare the espresso and cool completely. Separate the eggs, discarding the white from 1 of them. Beat 2 egg whites with 1 tablespoon sugar until it forms soft peaks. In another bowl, beat 3 egg yolks with the remaining sugar until thick and pale yellow. Add the mascarpone and Marsala to the egg yolk mixture and blend until well combined. Lightly fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.

Dip ladyfingers, one at a time, in espresso coffee and line the bottom of a 2 quart bowl or serving dish with about 1/3 of the cookies. Cover with about 1/3 of the mascarpone mixture. Continue building the tiramisù making 3 layers of cookies topped with 3 layers of mascarpone mixture. Dust the finished tiramisù with unsweetened cocoa or chop up some bittersweet chocolate and use it to spell out AUGURI on top. Refrigerate at least two hours.
