Marmite
Method
- In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until onion is soft.
- Add drained beans to saucepan with 1/2 cup of the water. Simmer until beans have softened. If beans are not soft after 7 minutes, add 1/4 cup more water and keep cooking.
- Add maple syrup, tomato purée, mustard powder and another 1/2 cup of water. Simmer until sauce has thickened, then season with salt and pepper.
- Serve in a desert bowl.
- For ‘helmet like’ hair, (see diagram) cut toast in half, pick one half then starting from the bottom edge cut out a rectangle then remove piece.
- Spread on the marmite.
- For eyes, place eggs half under the helmet hair (yolk side up).
- Pop of a dob of marmite on each yolk for pupils.
- Have fun fashioning a moustache by cutting out crazy shapes from remaining piece of toast. Alternatively if you are after a more chiseled moustache you can purchase moustache sandwich cutters (Crustaches), online from www.kiwicakes.co.nz.
