Odd Dinner is made from POISON SHROOM and FRIED SHROOM PLATE
We've done fried shrooms and we can do them again... and for the poison... i'm picking red wine today. Not doubling up on mushrooms but we've got a big bunch of chestnut mushrooms.
For the unusual look of the sprite we need something black... now, ive never been a fan of mushrooms yet i've been shrooming it up all over this challenge. However I DO draw the line at olives, I can't stomach them, I really cant, so instead of the obvious choice of black olives, im going to do some black beans, and a dome of rice underneath. I've soaked the beans and then steamed them, and a batch of medium grain rice well in advance.
chopping some onions, garlic, and then just halving the mushrooms cause i kinda want them to be chunky and noticeable.
here they are frying away in some butter
Then we add a good amount of red wine, a little splash of balsamic vinegar (maybe not necessary? idk) and plenty of pepper! we love pepper in this house.
And then, my weird go-to sauce trick, some instant gravy.. it adds some salt and umami but it also thickens up the sauce real good.
a bit of gravy and hot water later and its looking like some stewed mushrooms
NOW to add a little class, im stuffing the beans and rice in a little container, and microwaving them because i prepared them earlier today so they're cold.. then we can turn it upside down and we'll have a... an odd dinner...
****
Maybe im just friggin starving but this was nice yeah. I know this is sort of a loose interpretation of the dish, but i think it makes a somewhat balanced and credible meal. Edible and credible.
