Comments:
The first time we tried this dish, it was on Australia Day (quite fitting, don’t you think?). We cooked this recipe several times until we got the quantities just about right. Two tablespoons of Vegemite is the right amount if you want to taste the Vegemite flavour, without being too overpowering.
Please feel free to add more or less of the Vegemite to suit your taste! Enjoy!
