Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portabella mushroom caps
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 small Red onion
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 pieces Cheese slices (optional, your choice)
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems if still attached.
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish, gill side up. Pour the balsamic marinade evenly over the mushrooms, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.
While the mushrooms are marinating, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds. Set aside along with the lettuce leaves.
Brush the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the marinated mushroom caps on the grill, gill side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until tender and slightly charred. If desired, add a slice of cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, grilled mushroom cap, tomato slice, red onion, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Balsamic Portabella Mushroom Burger!
