Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portobello mushroom caps
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Ciabatta buns
- 1 cup Arugula
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, sliced
- 4 slices Provolone cheese slices
Instructions
Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the marinade mixture onto both sides of the portobello mushroom caps and let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
While the mushrooms are marinating, in a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise and lemon juice to make the garlic aioli. Set aside.
Place the marinated mushroom caps on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the mushrooms are tender and juicy.
During the last 2 minutes of grilling, place a slice of provolone cheese on each mushroom cap to allow it to melt slightly.
Toast the ciabatta buns on the grill until they are lightly golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the garlic aioli on the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
Layer each bun with arugula, a grilled mushroom cap with cheese, tomato slices, and red onion slices.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
