The filling for the pie is just the recipe for the filling from these but I sauteed a few red and yellow bell peppers with shallots and I added a whole (1 lb) container of chopped baby bella mushrooms and cooked them down. I added a couple of splashes of white wine while the mushrooms cooked down too.

they are artichoke bottoms stuffed with mushroom gratin. They are one of my favorites things to make for company. delicious.

roast some red sweet peppers. slice into squares and stuff them with a soft cheese- roll into roulades, I like to use capricho de cabra. Drizzle with olive oil and a few drops of good balsamic vinegar. Serve a three to each guest over a bed of greens.
OR take artichoke bottoms (fresh,frozen, or canned) and stuff with a mixture of gruyere, sauteed mushrooms, and a thickened white sauce made from cream. (Pic related) and finally you may walnut pate and serve it with thin slices of pears (optional) over a round of toasted french bread. http://www.grouprecipes.com/74063/walnut-and-mushroom-vegetarian-pate.html

My vertical for what is now my favorite food ever. Fonds d'artichauts au gratin. It was so simple but very rich and decadent. If the cost of artichokes weren't so expensive I would make this more often. I highly recommend this, try it with frozen or canned artichoke heart bottoms if you can't bring yourself to use fresh.

Wow, I learned a lot from this challenge. I really was glad we were afforded extra time, I certainly took advantage of it. I am also glad it's over so I don't have to worry about French cooking again for a while, it was so much work!
