I'm sure this is the easy way but it works..loks and tastes good.

One of the latest versions of cooking a Prime Rib (and it seems quite popular) is setting the oven to 500 degrees, putting the prepared meat in, leaving it for about 1/2 hour, then turning the oven off and leaving it for 2 hours with the door closed. I think that this method would depend on your oven. I KNOW that mine won't remain hot for that long a period of time, and I would be worried about the meat spoiling.

*Amounts need not be specific & green pepper may be omitted.

For change of taste: slices of sausage and garlic butter to be eaten with bread, plain, not dipped. Dry white wine or tea.

I haven't made this yet but I'll probably use commercial mayonnaise and add the spices. Enjoy!

These poppers are favorites with my friends. Enjoy!

Pickled mushrooms can be stored in refrigerator 3 to 4 weeks.

I sometimes add 1 teaspoon capers and/or 1/3 cup sliced green olives. I put this hot over pasta, use it as a side dish with meat or poultry, and also puree it quickly and spread it on sliced toasted baguette bread as an appetizer. It will keep a couple of days in the fridge.

Serve hot dip with bread sticks and/or assorted fresh vegetables, such as celery, cauliflower, bell peppers, zucchini, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, green onions, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, fennel, artichoke hearts or radishes.

Presented in tandem, this combination adds festive color to a Christmas buffet. The mint slab by itself is great for a St. Patrick's Day celebration, while the crab slab is just right for Valentines's Day.

The classic Croque Monsieur is made with ham as indicated in the above recipe. If you prefer, slices of chicken may be used in place of the ham. Note: I noticed that the nutmeg wasn't mentioned in the cooking directions, but I assume you would add it with the salt.
