Best recipe for a "portabella burger"?!
Thank you!!
Answers: I am planning a BBQ with my fiances family (Hindus) so I was thinking of doing a portabella mushroom burger for his mom. Does anyone have a good recipe for one (made on a grill.) that they personally have tried and enjoyed.
Thank you!!
My dad makes a marinade of Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt and fresh pepper. He brushes the whole mushroom, then puts foil on the grill and puts the mushroom upside down on that. Take more of the marinade (mixed to your tastes) and drizzle it into the cap. They are soooo good! Try it with provolone cheese and serve on a whole wheat bun. :)
They are best on the grill! I would just set tin foil down and put some EVOO on that...then put the portobellos on. Wait until they are done....and use it simply as you would use a hamburger -- everyone wins in this situation. Then use fancy hamburger buns with lettuce, mustard, ketchup and what not. Very traditional but oh so good!
Its super easy-just brush the mushroom with a little olive oil and whatever seasonings you think she would like-garlic, onion, sea salt, etc. Toss it on the grill for about 2 minutes on each side-you can also brush it with BBQ sauce during the last few seconds of cooking, just long enough to carmelize the sauce. Just be sure to cook it on a seperate part of the grill, where no meat has been, and use a seperate brush for the BBQ sauce. Good luck-and good for you for making this effort!
I love this question... I was thinking of making the same thing later this week but was just going to make it up... I like the Worcestershire sauce idea (I have a vegan variety)... mushroom seems to me to be like natures best alternative to meat due to the texture... You could do a few different types in one go if it's not too much work? A garlic style one, cheesy one etc
Good luck!
