Author:
Recipe type: Appetizer
Cuisine: French
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup onion, finely chopped or 1 teaspoon onion powder (I used onion powder)
  • ½ pound mushrooms, finely chopped
  • ½ cup roasted red peppers, drained and finely chopped
  • ¼ lb deli ham, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons Cognac (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons dry breadcrumbs
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes.
Instructions
  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and then sauté onions and mushrooms for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add red peppers, ham, and parsley, Mrs. Dash, Worcestershire and red pepper flakes; cook for about 5 minutes. Add Cognac and stir until it has evaporated a bit, about 90 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Serve warm or chilled. We like it warm.
Notes
If using onion powder instead of raw onions; start recipe by sautéing mushrooms in the butter and add onion powder with other spices.


Serve with crusty French Bread, or crackers.
It is substantial enough to take along on a picnic as a light entrée, along with bread, cheese, strawberries and some good white wine. Pack a picnic and invite your family and friends and spread some Joy
