Two of our favorite items are the mushrooms and onions.  On their menu, the mushrooms are wood-roasted.  Unfortunately, we don’t have a wood-fired oven in our home.  For last week’s Tapas Monday, I decided to try my hand at assaggi, with a cooked at home spin.  Although I couldn’t replicate the mushrooms, I was able to create my own delectable version.

This recipe is simple. You need only a few ingredients and about 15 minutes of kitchen time.  However, the end product will  make your fellow diners think that you spent hours toiling.  There’s no need to inform them otherwise.
