Marmite (or Vegemite) is basically a yeast extract that’s derived from the beer brewing process. It’s a savory paste that tastes like a bitter tamari. You can eat it plain on toast or crackers, but I like to dress it up a little. (I also hear that Marmite is a good additive for hamburgers!)
1. Make a spread with some Marmite and soft butter. This will enhance the taste of the Marmite while mellowing it out a bit. The proportions are up to you.
2. Spread on wheat crackers. I tried it first on a peppered cracker, but found that to be a little strong.
3. Top with thinly sliced cheese and cucmbers. Also good with smoked salmon, but just a little because you don’t want to lose the flavor of the marmite.
4. Enjoy!
