INSTRUCTIONS
Published in the Los Angeles Times on August 19, 1998, in an article written by Marion Cunningham. Ms Cunningham says "spoon bread Custard with Mushrooms is a simple dish with lots of flexibility. This particular recipe calls for mushrooms and onions, but you can add any vegetable to the custard. Just sauté the vegetable in a little olive oil so it is slightly cooked before combining it with the cornmeal mustard to bake. It's a good, filling supper dish. Serve it with vegetables and and bagna cauda." Wipe mushrooms clean and cut into bite-size pieces. Melt butter in 10 inch skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion and cook, stirring, until softened and onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer to buttered 2 quart casserole and set aside. Bring 2 cups of water to boil in saucepan and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Put cornmeal in small bowl and add remaining 1/2 cup cold water, stirring to dampen cornmeal (this helps prevent lumping when cornmeal is added to boiling water). Add dampened cornmeal to boiling water, stirring constantly until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add buttermilk and stir to blend well. Add eggs and stir until well mixed. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Pour into casserole with mushrooms and onions and stir to mix well. Bake at 375 degrees until light golden, 30 to 40 minutes.
