Steps:

• In a large stockpot, brown the seasoned meat on all sides. Set meat aside and wipe out stockpot. In the same pot: saute onions, carrots, celery, beans, ginger and garlic. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with shaoshing and reduce by 50 percent. Add soy sauce and check again for seasoning. Return meat to pot, and add water to cover. Cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours until meat is tender. In a large pasta bowl, place a mound of mashers and cover with copious quantities of the stew, sauce and all. Enjoy.
• GARLIC MASHED POTATOES In a saucepot, add potatoes and fill with cold water. Add a little salt. Slowly boil potatoes for 30 to 40 minutes until potatoes come cleanly off of a pairing knife. In another saucepan, caramelize garlic, then add the cream. Reduce cream by 30 percent. In a large stainless steel bowl, add hot potatoes and garlic cream. Hand mash together. Add salt and pepper and check for seasoning.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium to medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the whole peppers in one layer and sprinkle them with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, tossing often until blistered and browned. Off the heat, squeeze some lime juice on the peppers and sprinkle with flaked sea salt. Serve hot right from the pan or transfer to a small serving dish. Have a dish nearby for discarding the stems.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the garlic just until golden. Mix in mushroom pieces, and cook 10 minutes, until tender.
• Pour the broth into the skillet. Stir in butter until melted. Season with Italian seasoning and salt.

Steps:

• In a large bowl stir together water and yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and salt and blend until mixture forms a dough, adding additional tablespoon water if too dry. On a lightly floured surface knead dough about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. (Alternatively, dough may be made in a standing electric mixer. In bowl of mixture make dough as described above. With dough hook knead dough about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.)
• Put dough in a very lightly oiled deep bowl, turning to coat, and let rise, covered loosely, in a warm place 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough and divide into 4 equal pieces. Dough keeps, each piece put in a small, sealable plastic bag and sealed, pressing out excess air, chilled overnight or frozen 2 weeks. If dough is frozen, thaw overnight in refrigerator before using. Makes enough dough for four 12 by 6-inch oval pizzas.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F.
• In a large heavy non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté mushrooms and garlic with Sherry, lemon juice, and salt to taste 10 minutes, or until liquid is evaporated. Cool mixture slightly. Mushroom mixture may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• On a work surface sprinkled with 1 teaspoon cornmeal roll out 1 piece of dough into a 12 by 6-inch oval and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cornmeal and dough, ending up with 2 ovals on each of 2 baking sheets.
• Stir parsley and Gruyère into mushroom mixture and spread evenly on dough ovals, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edge of each pizza.
• Bake pizzas in lower and middle thirds of oven 15 minutes, or until crusts are crisp and pale golden.

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil; add rice. Boil until rice is al dente, 30 to 35 minutes. Drain and rinse well with cold water; drain again.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium. Add eggs; season with salt and pepper and cook until set, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool; roll up and thinly slice crosswise.
• In same skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms, garlic, ginger, and red-pepper flakes; season with salt. Cook, tossing frequently, until shiitakes are tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Add rice, eggs, edamame, scallions, lime juice, and soy sauce. Cook, tossing, until rice is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a 9- or 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add mushrooms, onion, and thyme; cook, stirring, until mushrooms and onion are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt; remove skillet from heat.
• Whisk eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Stir in the ricotta, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Place reserved skillet over medium heat. Immediately pour in egg mixture, and lightly stir to distribute mushrooms and onion evenly. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 2 minutes, drawing cooked egg away from sides with a rubber spatula to let uncooked egg flow underneath. Cook until just starting to set, about 2 minutes more.
• Transfer skillet to oven. Bake until frittata is just set and top is pale golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve frittata in skillet, or slide onto a serving platter.

Steps:

• In a food processor pulse mushrooms until ground coarse. In a heavy skillet heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté mushrooms, stirring, until liquid they give off is evaporated, about 4 minutes. Cool mushrooms.
• In a heavy saucepan cook onion and garlic in remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until onion is softened. Add tomatoes, pepper, and salt to taste and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes.
• While sauce is cooking, in a bowl stir together mushrooms, ricotta, Parmesan, basil, egg, and salt and pepper to taste until combined well (mixture will be very soft). With well-floured hands shape mixture into eight 2-inch patties, shaking off excess flour.
• In a medium non-stick skillet heat vegetable oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté patties in batches until deep golden, about 2 minutes on each side, transferring them to paper towels to drain.
• Serve patties with tomato sauce.
