Mushroom Pork Marsala/Weeknight Menus - barbara_marie - 04-02-2006
Later this week I plan to try the Mushroom Pork Marsala shown in Weeknight Menus. But I notice the recipe calls for 8 cups of mushrooms. That seems an awful lot to serve 4. Has anyone tried that? Is 8 cups correct? Any help would be appreciated.

Whoa--that does sound like a lot but remember once they have cooked they do diminish in quantity quite a bit---still!!! I haven't the recipe to review but I'm sure someone will help you---sounds yummy though---I LOVE mushrooms!!

I haven't tried it yet, but I wouldn't hesitate to put that much, unless your family hates mushrooms.
They do cook down a lot! Please let us know how it comes out!

I'm thinking 8 cups of mushrooms will cook down to ~3-4 cups - that would be a nice amount for 4 servings.

From the name of the recipe, I would think that the mushrooms would be a major part of the recipe..perhaps that's why it calls for that many. I wouldn't scimp on them, I'd add the whole 8 cups.

Looking at the picture, I bet it's 8 ounces, which is a much more common measurement when buying mushrooms, right?
I got the Weeknight Menus yesterday and it looks really good. Hi, btw, I'm new.

Hi, Laura, welcome to the forum!
You might be right about the 8 oz thing. As much as I love this magazine, they do tend to misprint some things like that.

No! Don't tell me that, mispelling and typos? I don't know if I can stand it.
You're probably right about the 8 oz though and welcome.
