These are absolutely delicious; the rich mushroom flavor of this dish is heightened by the addition of mushroom ketchup!

Ingredients

  • 1 short french bread, about 10 inches

  • 2 tsp olive oil

  • 9 ounces portobello mushrooms, cut into quartered

  • 2 tsp mushroom ketchup

  • 2 tsp lemon juice

  • 2 tsp skim milk

  • 2 tbsp fresh chives – cut into small pieces

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

  • First, preheat oven to 400F
  • Cut the french bread in half lengthwise. Scoop out the soft middle of each half, leaving a thick border all the way around.
  • Brush the bread with oil, place on a baking sheet, and bake for about 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp.
  • Place the mushroom in a saucepan with mushroom ketchup, lemon juice and milk, simmer for about 5 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Remove from heat then add the chives, and season with salt and pepper. Spoon into the bread and serve hot, garnished with chopped chives.
    Enjoy! with soup or salad.
