Sounds interesting but I am not a huge mushroom man.

A good variation of this is to ommit the mushrooms and dice half a red pepper and fry it in olive oil and the sugar, then add the other ingredients.

I'm getting an ego.

When I worked in Wholefoods we used to have the special high end bottled tomato sauces that cost like $10 for 18 oz. or whatever... I could never even remotely understand that, is there any food easier to make yourself than tomato sauce? You can fool experiment with the recipe to your heart's content and almost always wind up with a surplus of food for short money... it's also something you can grow most of the ingredients for without much trouble...

I don't see you working there.

Only because I sold corona lite to some 19 year old undercover bitch.

That's a good recipe.

Does it make a difference if you finely chop the onions or not?

Jeff · Post by **Jeff** » 01 Aug 2006, 21:11

Yes. The finer you chop them, the more readily they'll break down. If you want them to retain their integrity/texture, chop them less fine.

Okay.

I usually leave the onions fairly coarsely chopped, I like to see them and stuff.

Well there you go.
