Fresh Mushroom “Cocktails”
Put a small handleless cup or glass in the centre of a plate and encircle it with 6 of the smallest white leaves of lettuce. On each leaf place 2 small white firm button mushrooms, which have been freshly gathered and carefully washed but not peeled. Fill the cocktail glass three quarters full of sauce made of ½ cup of tomato chutney, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 2 drops of tabasco (more if liked very hot), and ½ teaspoon of salt. Set the plates in the refrigerator for half an hour. Deliciously prepared “Cocktail” sauce can be purchased in bottles.
