Delicious! Really delicious. Next time I want to try making them with some other vegetables. One little pointer about the stock used: I used the water I'd soaked the mushrooms in, and I only needed about 1/2 C, not the whole 2 C recommended. Also, when I added the stock to the hot oil, it spattered like crazy, so it's probably safer to turn the heat off first. I used just 1 T of oil in the pan and it worked fine.
