Marinated Mushroom Salad

Wow! Here I've been thinking about making marinated mushrooms, and was wondering if I should ask
here for a recipe, but then you happened to post one, before I got around to ask. Thanks! :0)

Welcome to the group. Marmite is a yeast-extract product made in England. It has a rich, salty
flavor all its own. It's really the same as Vegemite, though Aussies and Brits fight about which
is better.

It's a British yeast extract, but it can also be bought in other countries. If you find some,
possibly in a heath food shop, then buy the smallest jar possible (if you can't try it elsewhere
first), as it's something you either love or hate. I think it's absolutely wonderful, but not all
people in here would agree.

The most common way people eat Marmite is simply spread thinly on toast. Some people like this and
some people don't. However, used in cooking, as these recipes demonstrate, the flavour added is
absorbed into the food and people who claim to dislike Marmite will actually enjoy these recipes.

People in North America can find Marmite in specialty British shops or online at

I enjoy it spread very thinly on toast, and that is how I mostly eat it. I've used it when re-
hydrating TVP, but am looking forwards to also trying it in some of the recipes which you've posted.

I've now gotten a bit bored with my usual cooking and get hankerings for things such as cous-cous
salad (which I made a few days ago, and it was delicious, but not interesting enough to write down a
recipe for), crisp bread, marinated mushrooms, and soup. The latter I can understand, with winter
being very near now, but the other three are things you'd normally be in the mood for in the summer.

Good thing you post those recipes for inspiration. It's appreciated.

Marmite is especially fantastic for re-hydrating TVP chunks. I put a handful of chunks in a sauce
pan, add some marmite, a splash of soy sauce and a dollop of kethcup and cover with water and simmer
for about 20 minutes and then use normally. Good stuff.

Also, just adding a dash of marmite to stews and soups gives it a really rich flavour. Not to
mention the B12...

I'll try that sometime, if I get around to buy some ketchup. I never use ketchup normally, though,
so it might be a bit of a waste.

BTW: do you happen to have a good recipe for potato salad, with some kind of vinegar/garlic
dressing, lying around? If you do, I'd appreciate you posting it, if it's not too much bother.

I agree. It's a great source for B12.

This is a huge amount of potato salad but I guess you can halve the ingredients to make it more
managable.

The Ultimate Potato Salad Recipe From 'Feasts from the Place Below' by Bill Sewell

This is a sauce that is poured over recently boiled potatoes. This will cover about two kilos worth
of potatoes.

Ingredients 140g (5oz) garlic (2 medium sized bulbs) 60g (2oz) ground almonds 1 tsp salt 90ml
(3floz) water 1tbsp white wine vinegar 300ml sunflower oil

Method Pre-heat the oven to 230C (45F/gas mark 8). Break the garlic bulbs into cloves but do not
peel and spread them out onto a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes until soft when pressed and
smelling toasty. Allow to cool and then peel.

Toast the ground almonds, either in the oven, spreading them out on a baking sheet and turning over
after about 5 minutes when the ones on the surface are coloured or in a dry pan over a medium heat,
stirring every 30 seconds or so until most are golden coloured. Allow to cool.

Put the peeled baked garlic and the toasted almond in a blender together with the salt, water and
vinegar and whizz until very smooth. While still whizzing, gradually pour in the sunflower oil.
Check the seasoning and pour over recently boiled potatoes.

<snip> Sounds fine, thanks! I imagine that I can also have some fresh veggies with the potatoes just
before adding the dressing.
