Portobello Burger

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 portobello mushrooms
  • 1 shallot
  • 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 2 buns
  • lettuce
  • tomato

Optional Ingredients

  • cheese
  • red onion
  • 2 fried egg

Instructions

  • Begin by removing the stem of the mushrooms and thoroughly cleaning them. Allow them to dry (or pat them dry).
  • Finely chop your shallots. In a small bowl mix the shallots, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil.
  • Take your Portobello caps and salt and pepper the inside. Cover the inside of the mushroom with the dressing and allow it to marinade for at least 20 minutes. The longer you let it marinade, the more the Portobello will absorb.
  • Pre-heat your oven to 375°F. If the Portobello appears to have too much liquid remaining in it drain it some – you don’t want to be dry and you also don’t want it to be soaking wet inside. Place the mushrooms on the baking sheet. When I cook these I enjoy roasting some red onion with it, so I take this time to place some red onion slices on my baking sheet also. Allow the mushrooms to cook in the oven for 25 minutes. Once completed, place each mushroom on a bun and dress it up however you want.
