PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM BURGER

Steps:

• In a large ziptop bag, combine the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Add the mushroom caps and seal the bag, removing as much air as possible. Gently swish the marinade around the mushrooms, then place the bag in a shallow dish. Allow the mushrooms to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes while you prepare any desired toppings, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour. Turn the bag once or twice while the mushrooms sit so that they are coated evenly.
• Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium heat. Once hot, brush the grate lightly with oil to prevent sticking. or lightly spray the grill pan with nonstick spray.
• Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Reserve the marinade in the bag for basting. Grill the mushrooms on both sides until tender, about 10 minutes total, brushing them with the marinade several times throughout.
• When the mushrooms are in their final minute of cooking, turn two of them so that their undersides (the ones that previously had the gills and stem) are facing up. Top each with 1 slice of cheese, then stack a second mushroom on top, gill-side down, so that the cheese is in the middle. Place a second slice of cheese on top. Reduce the heat to low and cook just until the cheese is melted.
• During the last few minutes of cooking, if desired, grill sliced onions and toast the buns. To assemble, spread a thin layer of pesto on the cut sides of each bun. Place the arugula on the bottom bun, then top with a grilled portobello mushroom stack, onion, and tomato. Add the top bun. Enjoy immediately.

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.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• Place the mushroom caps, smooth side up, in a shallow dish. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour over the mushrooms. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or so, turning twice.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Brush grate with oil. Place mushrooms on the grill, reserving marinade for basting. Grill for 5 to 8 minutes on each side, or until tender. Brush with marinade frequently. Top with cheese during the last 2 minutes of grilling.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil. Toss with the mushroom caps in a wide bowl. Rub the marinade over the tops of the mushroom caps and place them on a baking sheet, rounded side up. Let sit for 15 minutes. Don't rinse the bowl, because you'll use any oil and vinegar residue to dress the spinach.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and blanch the spinach for 20 seconds. Transfer to a bowl of ice water, drain and squeeze dry. Chop coarsely and toss in the bowl with the residue of the marinade. Set aside.
• Prepare a medium-hot grill, heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, or preheat an electric grill or panini pan on medium-high. Season the mushrooms as desired with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on the hot grill or pan, rounded side down. Cook them for about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness, until lightly browned, and moist. Turn over and cook for another 6 minutes. Turn over for a minute to reheat the top, then flip back over and place the cheese on top. Continue to cook until the cheese melts. If using a panini grill, cook 6 to 8 minutes. Open the grill and place the cheese on top. Wait for it to melt. Place a mound of spinach on the bottom half of each hamburger bun and place the mushrooms, rounded side up, on top of the spinach. Top with your choice of condiments and serve.

PORTABELLA MUSHROOM BURGER WITH CARMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar,olive oil,basil, oregano,and garlic together. Place mushroom caps smooth side up in a shallow baking dish. Pour marinade over the mushrooms and let stand at room temp. for 15 minutes, turning the mushrooms over 2 or 3 times. The idea is not to drown the mushrooms, only coating them with a thin marinade to add flavor. Do not put them in a zip lock, as they will get soggy. Just brushing the marinade will do.
• To caramelize the onions, take your very thin slices of onion and add them to a frying pan with olive oil. Heating the oil first till it is hot. Then add your pinch of brown sugar, and over a medium low heat, caramelize the onions until they are transparent. I also like to add just a touch of the marinade the mushrooms are marinating in.
• You can grill these mushroom caps (oil the grill first to prevent sticking) or broil them at the lowest position away from heat source. Cook them until the edges just start to brown up (about 3-5 minutes) and then turn them and cook an additional 3-5 minutes. If you broil them, pat them with paper toweling after you remove them form the oven, to prevent them from dripping.
• I like to place a nice slice of cheese on the bun. mozzarella or provolone add much flavor to this. Then place the hot mushroom on top of cheese slice on bun. Then a slice of tomato, a bit of lettuce if you like, your caramelized onions and the alioli. Enjoy!
