Funges

Forme of Cury p. 14/A15

Take Funges and pare hem clene and dyce hem. take leke and shred hym small and do hym to see+ in gode broth. color it with safron and do + 'inne powdo fort.

1/2 lb mushrooms
1 leek
1 c beef or chicken broth
6 threads saffron
1/4 t powder fort (see introduction p.5)
1/4 t salt

Wash the vegetables; slice the leek finely and dice the mushrooms. Add saffron to the broth and bring it to a boil. Add the leek, mushrooms, and powder fort to the broth, simmer 3-4 minutes, remove from the heat, and serve.

We prefer to use beef broth, but it is also good with chicken. If you use a canned broth, remember that some are concentrated and must be diluted before using. Campbell's beef bouillon or chicken bouillon, for instance, should be combined with an equal quantity of water.
