Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 portabella mushroom caps
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 4 slices sliced red onion
- 4 cheese slices (optional)
- to taste condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stems.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the mushrooms are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the marinated mushroom caps on the grill, gill side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip them over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
If using cheese, place a slice on each mushroom cap during the last minute of grilling, allowing it to melt slightly.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled portabella cap on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and your choice of condiments.
Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately.
