Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups mixed button and small cap mushrooms

1 lemon -- juiced

1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley or snipped chives -- optional

freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

2 large tomatoes

4 warm slices wholegrain toast (1/4-inch

thick)

2 teaspoons margarine

1 teaspoon Vegemite® yeast extract spread

parsley sprigs -- for garnish

lemon slices -- for garnish

 

Clean the mushrooms with a soft brush and trim the stems. Place mushrooms in a

small, nonstick frying pan. Add lemon juice. Cover and cook over medium heat

until tender, about 5 minutes (do not over cook).

 

Stir in the chopped parsley. Season with pepper.

 

Preheat broiler. Adjust the rack so that the pan is 4 to 6 inches from the

source of heat. Line broiler pan with foil.

 

Cut tomatoes in half and sprinkle the cut surfaces with pepper. Place the

tomatoes cut side up on the broiler pan and broil until hot and starting to

soften, about 5 minutes.

 

On each slice of bread, spread with a portion of the margarine, then with a

portion of the vegemite. Top each slice with a tomato half, then spoon on the

mushrooms, dividing equally.

 

Garnish with the parsley and serve.

 

Variation: substitute lime or other citrus.
