Did you bring it to the serving wench's attention?

I would recommend starting with the mushrooms. Alton Brown used a technique that almost makes them taste like beef. Slice them flat rather than in chunks. Saute a few at a time until they turn golden brown and then do the next batch. You don't want to overcrowd because that leads to steaming instead of sauteing.

I'll give that a try the next time I make it.

Looks delicious! I'm a sucker for mushrooms. As a fellow veg, I will be trying this. I will probably add more veggies, though. Glad she enjoyed!

I made it once before with grilled portobellos and grilled eggplant. That was much more satisfying to my carnivore sensibilities.
