GOODNESS
Sage: This delightful herb is a key player in some terrific recipes, but it is also a great purifier, fighting both bacteria and viruses. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory, and is used by many to ease the symptoms of arthritis. It also helps to lower blood pressure and control blood sugar. Like rosemary, it has been used since ancient times as a memory enhancer. Although it is just fine in foods, you should avoid excessive quantities of sage if you are pregnant.

serves
prep time: 10
cook time: 33

ingredients

  • 1 cup assorted mushrooms (such as crimini and stemmed shiitake), sliced
  • 3/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup cold water
  • 3 tablespoons (about) olive oil
  • Tricolor Roasted Peppers

directions

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion and saute until mushrooms are tender and juices evaporate, about 9 minutes. Mix in sage. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool.

Combine flour, milk powder, baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt in processor. Add 3/4 cup water and 2 1/2 tablespoons butter, blend until soft sticky dough forms, about 2 minutes. Transfer dough to large bowl. Add mushroom mixture. Using hands, mix dough until well combined. Let dough stand uncovered 20 minutes.

Turn dough out onto generously floured work surface. Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll out each piece on work surface to 6 inch round.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 flatbread and cod cook until brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to baking sheet, keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining flatbreads, adding more oil to skillet as necessary. Cut breads into quarters. Serve with Tricolor Roasted Peppers.
