Instructions: *NOTE: I used 1 1/2 lb total of shiitake, lg white, Italian Golden...sliced

**NOTE: Soak the dried mushrooms 1/2 hr to rehydrate them and drain thru a
strainer BUT reserve the soaking liquid.

***NOTE: Original recipe called for the evaporated skim milk or 1/2 C half and half ... I used nonfat veg chicken broth, low sod...it did not reach a nape stage.

Saute the onions and garlic.

Add the mushrooms to the sauteed onions and garlic. Add the reserved liquid
to pan but make sure that you dont add the grit.

Add 1/2 C chicken stock and cook for about 1 min.

Add the Port wine and reduce till it gets to the nape stage (this is when it coats the back of a spoon) ...this will take about 5 - 10 min.

Add the seeded peeled tomatoes that have been rough chopped. Stir to mix well.

Add 1 - 2 T lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well.

This has an excellent flavor. If you chop the mushrooms small then you could use this over rice, grains or a baked potato.
