1 tsp. olive oil
1 sm. chopped onion
3 cloves chopped garlic
1/2 c. water
6 mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/2 c. red wine
Dash of nutmeg
1/4 c. apple juice
1 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. tarragon
1 tbsp. vinegar
1/4 c. soy sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the onions and cook until golden. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add all the other ingredients and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Strain the marinade. Makes enough to marinate 1 pound of veggie patty or tofu.
