Piled Portobello Gouda Burgers With Roasted Garlic Recipes

PORTOBELLO BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients. Place caps into a baking dish and pour marinade over top. Use a brush to make sure all caps are covered with the marinade. Set aside and let marinate up to 2 hours.
• Remove the portobellos from marinade (do not discard marinade) and place gill side down on a preheated gas, electric or charcoal grill over medium-high heat. Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side. Top each cap with cheese 2 minutes to melt before they are finished grilling.
• In a medium bowl combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of the marinade.
• Spread the flavored mayonnaise onto each bun and top with portobellos. Serve with sliced onion, lettuce and tomato.

ROASTED GARLIC BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill, or preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix together the meat, salt and pepper, and Roasted Garlic Paste.
• Using your hands, form 4 individual burgers. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to grill.
• Cook the burgers over a hot fire or roast in the oven until desired internal temperature is reached, about 160 degrees for medium.
• Split each loaf of levain bread and pull out some of the soft center to make a hole for the burger. Place the bread face down on the grill to toast.
• Place the burger in the bread and serve with garnishes.
• Combine the garlic and oil. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium. Simmer until garlic is brown and soft. Smash garlic with the back of a spoon; keep some chunks.
• Mix all ingredients together. Cover and refrigerate.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, arrange the mushrooms in a single layer. Don't stir! Let them sizzle until they have caramelized on the bottom, about 2 minutes. If you toss them too soon, they will release their liquid and begin to steam. When the bottoms are caramelized, toss the mushrooms and continue to cook over high heat for about 5 minutes.
• Add the butter. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are beautifully browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add the shallots and garlic. Saute until the garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the thyme. Add the wine, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer until the mushrooms are glazed with the sauce. Add the parsley, transfer to a warmed bowl, and serve immediately.

PILED PORTOBELLO GOUDA BURGERS WITH ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Two hours before serving, combine the marinade ingredients in a shallow dish and add mushrooms. I let them lay on their top side in the marinade, and spoon some marinade into the bottom-up side to let it soak. Marinate for two hours. One hour before serving, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Slice off the top of the heads of garlic and drizzle a bit of olive oil (1/2 tablespoon) on top. Wrap in foil and roast for 45 minutes. Let cool completely. Heat the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes, then turn off heat and set aside to thicken. Slice red onion into rings and add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil into a large skillet on medium heat. Add onions and let soften and caramelize for 10-12 minutes. Set aside once finished, leaving the skillet on. Add the marinated mushrooms to the skillet top side up. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for 4 more. Turn back over, add a slice of gouda on top, and turn off heat. Toast the English muffins. Using your fingers, squeeze roasted garlic out of the head into a bowl. Mash with a spoon. Spread on both sides of each English muffin. Top English muffin with a portobello cap, onion rings, tomato, avocado, and butter lettuce. I recommend a light sprinkle of salt and pepper on the tomato and avocado for flavor. Finish with a drizzle of syrupy balsamic and serve.

PORTOBELLO-GOUDA GRILLED SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute mushrooms in 1 tablespoon butter until tender. Place cheese on two bread slices; top with mushrooms, tomato and remaining bread. Spread outsides of sandwiches with remaining butter., In a small skillet over medium heat, toast sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted.

PORTABELLA AND GOUDA BURGER WITH GARLIC MAYO

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil,sliced garlic clove and thyme in a zipper-lock bag.
• Add portabella mushroom caps, zip up and marinate for at least 30 to 45 minutes.
• In the meantime, combine the Garlic Mayo ingredients and allow to blend in the refrigerator.
• When mushroom caps are ready, heat a little olive oil in a skillet (maybe another tablespoon or so) and saute for about 5 minutes, stem side down.
• Try to include as much of the sliced garlic and thyme as possible in the skillet.
• Turn mushroom caps over and top with cheese.
• Cover skillet and cook for about another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted (it will melt very fast, keep an eye on it--).
• Alternatively, these are delicious on the grill as well!
• Serve with tomato on toasted rolls or French bread spread with garlic mayo.
• Really nice with some avocado on the side.

ROASTED PORTOBELLO BURGERS WITH ROSEMARY GARLIC OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Cut the potatoes into wedges and drop them onto a cookie sheet. Drizzle the potatoes with about 3 tablespoons of EVOO and toss to coat them thoroughly in the oil. Season the potatoes with the rosemary, salt, and pepper. Roast them for 25 minutes in all. Halfway through the roasting add the garlic, stir to distribute, and flip the potatoes, then continue to roast. The potatoes should be brown and tender.
• While the potatoes roast, place the portobello mushroom caps on a cookie sheet. Season them with salt and pepper and arrange the mushrooms gill side up. Drizzle the gill side with a little EVOO and the balsamic vinegar. Transfer them to the oven and roast for 12 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Don't turn off the oven.
• While the mushrooms are roasting, coarsely chop the arugula and roasted red peppers and combine them in a bowl. Season them with a little salt and pepper.
• Top 4 of the cooked mushroom caps with a mound of the arugula and roasted pepper mixture, a slice of prosciutto, and a slice of mozzarella. Return the mushrooms to the oven to melt the cheese, about 2 to 3 minutes. Once the cheese has melted, remove the mushrooms from the oven and top each one with a second roasted mushroom cap to make a sandwich. Serve the roasted portobello burgers with the rosemary garlic oven fries. It's easiest to eat these burgers with a fork and knife.
