Mushroom Toasts- Tasty quick snack

Here is a quick snack that could be used as a breakfast item and also as appetizers in parties.

Mushroom toasts: The Little Big Vegetarian Book - Page 17
600 g fresh mushrooms
1.5 tsp butter
4 tbsp extra virgin oil (you can substitute with refined oil)
1/2 red onion (can add 1 onion)
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp thyme and parsley (you can use Italian spice mix)
salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup vegetable stock (can use Maggi cube derived stock)
bread slices (brown /whole wheat is healthy)

Clean the mushrooms and chop them fine. Saute finely chopped onions and garlic with spices for 5 min. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook for another 5 min stirring constantly. Add the vegetable stock and cook for another 8-10 min. Cooking the mushrooms until tender brings the flavor of the mushroom. Add salt sparingly as Mushrooms tend to taste saltier than other dishes.. Spread on toast and enjoy..

You can Indian-ize this dish by adding Indian spices instead of Italian. Garlic of course is recommended as it goes well with Mushrooms and bring out the flavor.
