This is not the 'Clitopilus prunulus'

This is a swiss dish, originally prepared with veal but I used chicken fillets instead.

For 3 - 4 servings:

250 g chicken fillet

2 shallots

250 g button mushrooms

150 - 200 ml white wine

150 - 200 ml whipping cream

salt

freshly ground pepper

1/2 tsp. tomato paste

1 tbs. butter oil

Preparation:

Cut chicken fillet into small stripes, cut shallots into very fine stripes lengthwise. Half or quarter button mushrooms (according to their size).

Melt the butter oil in a pan, fry the chicken stripes by and by at medium heat. Add shallot stripes and fry. In the end add mushrooms and stir-fry everything for some minutes.

Pour the wine and let boil away. Then pour the cream, bring to a boil and reduce to a sauce of creamy consistency. Flavour with salt, pepper and a bit tomato paste.

Serve with basmati rice; as side dish a green salad is nice or - what we had - homemade apple compote.

Beverage: White Wine

Stewed beef with onions, button mushrooms and tomatoes

looks like something i want to give the name "albino turkey tail"

Could be mistaken for Stereum ostrea (False Turkey Tail), but I doubt it.

the white cap and growth from leaf litter distinguish this species as 'capillaris'.

or is it Marasmius rotula??

inedible/ bitter

has dark, unforked tips.. previous label of Crested Coral (Clavulina cristata) may have been incorrect but it's hard to tell.

“Nai Bai” from China is seasonal and looks like small dwarf “bai cai” except that the leaves are crinkled. It is much costlier than “bai cai”. This vegetable sold well in the supermarket.

Shown in the above is my own concoction, a delectable veggie dish.

They all look alike, one might say. Why then another filo pocket post? Because what's inside matters most.

Ingredients: swiss chard leaves (cut) and stems (finely chopped), white onion (diced), garlic (minced), button mushrooms (shredded), radicchio rosso (cut), filo pastry, soft goat cheese, 1 egg (whisked), black sesame seeds, olive oil, dry thyme, red wine, sugar, soy sauce, sea salt, black pepper

I prepared the filling in these four batches: batch 1: garlic-braised swiss chard leaves; batch 2: onions, red and yellow swiss chard stems, thyme, soy sauce, and red wine, braised in olive oil; batch 3: caramelized radicchio rosso; batch 4: shredded brown button mushrooms braised in butter. All four batches mixed and soft goat cheese added - recipe for deliciousness.

The Zoo Neuwied has quite a good restaurant where we had lunch yesterday. My pizza looks smaller on the large plate than it was. ;-)

It was very good with fresh, not canned mushrooms. As drink I had an Apfelschorle (a mixture of apple juice and sparkling mineral water) which was/is very refreshing on a hot day.

Der Zoo Neuwied hat ein ordentliches Restaurant, wo wir gestern zu Mittag aßen. Meine Pizza sieht auf dem großen Teller kleiner aus, als sie war. ;-)

Sie war sehr gut, mit frischen Champignons, keine Dosenware. Zu trinken hatte ich eine Apfelschorle - genau das richtige an einem heißen Tag.

For this meal on Saturday, marketing was done on the same day, ER and I went to the wet market first to get the seafood, rice noodles and beancurds and then adjourned to the supermarket, in the same building, to get more vegetables, chicken and other stuffs.

As "ikan batang" was available, my preferred fish is “ikan tenggiri” though, we made our own fish paste which was the main ingredient in "niang dou fu". All the items in "niang dou fu" platters e.g. stuffed ladies' fingers, stuffed red chillies, fishballs etc were homemade. ER is always a willing partner, a good assistant. While I prepared the food items, he took care of the steaming. For a change we steamed all the items in advance. All these preparations took ER and me hours to get things ready for this enjoyable steamboat dinner.
