Add the remaining 4 whole eggs to the bowl with the whites, add the water and whisk until combined. Cook the eggs in a medium nonstick skillet over a medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the eggs are done, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

CHARMOON'S AWARD WINNING GRILLED PORTOBELLOS

Steps:

• Prepare a fire for grilling, if using coals, or set up a gas grill.
• Clean the portabello mushrooms: cut off and discard the dirty stalk bottoms before turning the mushroom upside-down, to prevent loose dirt from falling onto the gills. Then, invert the mushroom (cap down), and remove the remaining stalk by cutting off the base of the cap. Set aside for later use.
• With a cleaning brush, remove any loose dirt from the cap, and the underside. For a final cleaning, wipe the cap with a moistened towel. Lay the caps, gills down, on a cutting board. Cut through the caps to make cross section slices about 1/3 inch thick. Pile slices on a plate or tray.
• Vigorously shake the marinade in the jar, then pour into a large bowl.
• Brush the grill lightly with olive oil.
• With tongs, grab 1 1/2 mushrooms worth of mushroom slices, and immerse briefly into the bowl of marinade. Loosen the tongs somewhat and quickly stir/swish the mushrooms around, to let all surfaces of the mushroom get coated. Then immediately pull the slices out, allow to drip-drain for a moment over the bowl, and spread, cut surfaces down, onto the grill.
• Note: it is very important to not let the mushrooms sit too long in the marinade?the gills will get soggy, and the end result will be ruined. Grill the mushrooms until well browned on one side. Baste the upper sides with the marinade, and turn. Cook until second side is well grilled. (Total cooking time is 4 to 8 minutes, depending on fire temperature, the mushroom slice-thickness, and desired doneness.)
• Remove mushrooms from the grill onto serving plate. Repeat with the remaining mushroom slices. Cool briefly, and enjoy!
• Mix all the liquids into a sauce pan, and bring to a high simmer. While heating, coarsely chop the garlic and ginger, and stir into the heating liquid. Cook at a high simmer, uncovered, for a bout 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and allow to cool. Pour into a glass jar, seal with a tight lid, and refrigerate overnight. (Marinade can be used immediately, but flavors will improve overnight).

GRILLED PORTOBELLOS FILLED WITH WILD RICE-ALMOND PILAF AND PIQUILLO PEPPER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Brush both sides of mushrooms with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill caps until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Fill the caps with the wild rice pilaf, drizzle the piquillo vinaigrette and sprinkle tops with the toasted almonds.
• Place wild rice in a colander and rinse well with cold water. Combine 3 cups of the stock and the water in a large saucepan with a tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil. Add the rice and cook until the grains open and are very soft, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Drain well.
• Heat oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half. Add the cooked wild rice, thyme, rosemary and remaining 1/2 cup of stock and season with salt and pepper and cook until heated through and flavors combine, 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and fold in the parsley.
• Combine peppers, onion, garlic, vinegar, honey, mustard, and salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and blend until emulsified.
