Ingredients

  • 200 g (2 ½ cups) mushrooms (mixed, chestnut, shiitake, button – whatever you have)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon butter or dairy free margarine
  • 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp soy sauce or tamari (optional)
To serve
  • 2-4 lices bread
  • butter or dairy free margarine
  • Extra sprigs of thyme

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Clean and slice the mushrooms roughly (I like them cut into different shapes and sizes for texture), then finely chop the garlic. Set both aside.
  2. Melt the butter/margarine in a frying pan over a medium-high heat then add the mushrooms and garlic. Strip the leaves from the thyme sprigs and add to the pan. 
  3. Stir it all frequently for about 4 minutes, until the mushrooms are soft, golden and have released their juices. Season to taste with the salt and pepper.
  4. If using, stir in the soy sauce now and cook for a further minute. 
  5. Toast the bread, spread with butter and top with the mushrooms and extra thyme. Serve immediately.
  6. Tip: I like my mushrooms on toast juicy, so after I've piled the mushrooms onto the toast, I swill a little water around the hot pan and then pour it over the mushrooms. It sort of turns it into a rich mushroom broth that soaks into the bread.
