Greek-Style Mushrooms

Ingredients:

8 ounces (250 g) fresh mushrooms
1 pound (500 g) fresh tomatoes, peeled
1 chopped onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 glass of dry white wine
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 tablespoon of tomato concentrate
1 bay leaf
1 sprig thyme
Pepper

Method:

1. Wipe the mushrooms clean, or wash them if they are sandy. Cut them into quarters or if they are the field variety, 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces.
2. Stew the tomatoes in olive oil with the chopped onion, wine, lemon juice, and tomato concentrate. Reduce to a thick sauce. Add mushrooms, bay leaf, thyme and pepper. Simmer until mushrooms are cooked (about 15 minutes). Refrigerate. Serve chilled.
