Ingredients

4
English muffins
1⁄4 cup
onion, finely minced
1 cup
mushrooms, chopped
1 1⁄2 teaspoons

1⁄2 teaspoon
ground thyme or oregano or basil

I needed a side dish for dinner and I had asparagus and mushrooms in the firdge that needed to be used up.  I found this recipe and followed it except for adding the english muffin.  It was very good!  I recommend it with or without the muffin.

This makes a tasty lunch or snack. We had this prepared by a local caterer for a meeting and it went over very well.
