20 150 170

Ingredients

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon each chili powder, paprika, pepper and ground coriander
Pinch each ground cloves and garlic powder
1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained

Combine all of the seasonings; set aside 1/2 teaspoon. In a saucepan over low heat, saute green pepper, onion and remaining seasoning mixture in butter until vegetables are tender. Stir in mushrooms and half the tomato paste. Spread mixture over the roast; place in shallow baking pan.

Gradually blend the 1-1/2 cups of liquid into flour mixture, stirring until smooth. Add reserved seasoning mixture and remaining tomato paste. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Serve with the roast. Yield: 8-10 servings.
