Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Portabella mushroom caps
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 4 slices Cheese slices (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems for a flatter surface, if desired.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, soy sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the mushroom caps in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the mushrooms are marinating, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds. Prepare the lettuce leaves and set aside along with the burger buns, cheese slices, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard.
Place the marinated mushroom caps on the preheated grill, gill-side down. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the leftover marinade, until the mushrooms are tender and have a nice char.
If using cheese, add a slice to each mushroom cap during the last minute of grilling to let it melt slightly.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom bun. Layer with a grilled portabella mushroom, a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and a few red onion rings.
Place the top bun on the burger and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad.
