Lift with slotted spoon and transfer to plastic colander and leave to drain. With the heat still on, put tomatoes in the same liquid for 30seconds. Lift tomatoes and turn off heat.  Peel tomatoes cut in two and scoop out the seeds.  Make the mushroom dressing by mixing the remaining half lemon juice, mustard, mustard seeds, salt & peppe,r honey, extra vinegar to olive oil. Mix with a small whisk until well combined ( it should emulsify). Transfer mushrooms to clean glass bowl add the marinade and chopped parsely and mix well.
