This was tonights dinner served with mashed potatoe and steamed vegetables. I didn't add the bell pepper/capsicum due to allergy issues and didn't have pimento. I upped the mushroom to cup but would up it a further 1/2 cup at least. I was going to use half cream and half milk but discovered there was no cream so used all hi lo milk and it was still very thick and creamy. Thank you Pneuma, made for Recipe Swap #21 - October 2008.

    A deliciously creamy and flavoursome recipe. I increased the musrooms (because I LOVE mushrooms) and added a finely chopped onion and 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic to the mushrooms, so (there being more ingredients) I cooked the contents of the pan in step one for more like 3-4 minutes. I used a red pepper instead of a green one because I prefer them and, in step three, used only one cup of broth because I wanted to sneak in some white wine. I also added some marjoram and oregano. I used low-fat cream as I've always find it works fine. A truly yummy dish. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Pneuma! We ate it on a bed of rice which served well to soak up the creamy sauce.

    This was a very nice recipe. I added 1/4 cup of dry white wine to the flour mixture right before adding the cream and chicken broth. Couldn't find a pimento pepper here but we like a bit of spice so used a hot red chili pepper instead. Served over pasta and topped with a sprinkling of cayenne pepper. Would also be very nice served like this over thick slices of toast. I think it would be improved upon by only using 1 cup of cream rather than 2. There was an over abundance of the sauce and I think this would let more of the other flavours to show through. Thank you for sharing this - will be making again!

    I made a single serving of this for lunch and was quite pleased. Very simple to put together (although I forgot to add the flour... DOH!), I made as directed and served it over some leftover rice. The flavors incorporated nicely but next time I would add some chopped onion. ~Buddha
