Joann Tomlinson From my mother's Polish cookbook and a staple for Christmas Eve dinner: Saute a 1/2 pound of fresh, sliced mushrooms until brown with a tbsp of unsalted butter, add 1 medium chopped onion, 1 large carrot chopped, 2 whole celery stalks, 2 qtrs of veg/or beef broth ...and 4-8 ozs of dried morel (forest) mushrooms - soaked overnite to rehydrate. (I've shortcut this process by soaking the dried mushroms broken up in about 1/2 cup of water in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes. Add the stock, veggies and dried mushrooms to the stock and cook to mary the flavors for about 1 hour. Add a handful of pearly parley, cook on med-low for about an hour. Turn off heat and let it rest. Remove celery stalks. Refrigerate. Best served the following day....rich mushroomy and onion taste with thickening and texture from barley. Healthy and nutritious and kids enjoy.

Feta and white beans provide plenty of protein in this main-course salad. If you don't have white-wine vinegar, you can substitute red-wine or balsamic vinegar.
