Steps:
- Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat).
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over both sides of the mushrooms. Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil on grill pan to prevent mushrooms from sticking. Grill until the mushrooms are heated through and tender, about 5 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, whisk the extra-virgin olive oil and garlic in a medium bowl to blend. Add the tomatoes, cheese, and basil and toss to coat. Season the tomato salad, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Place 1 hot grilled mushroom gill side up on each of 4 plates. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper. Spoon the tomato salad atop the mushrooms, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to finish, about 1 tablespoon and serve.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- 2. Place the red bell pepper onto the preheated grill, and grill until the skin is completely charred on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes. Place the pepper into a paper bag, seal the bag, and let the pepper cool. When cooled, remove the charred skin, slice the pepper into quarters, and remove the seeds. Thinly slice the pepper and set aside.
- 3. Mix salt and pepper into the olive oil in a small bowl. Brush the smooth side of the mushrooms with the seasoned oil, and grill, oiled side down, until the mushrooms show grill marks, about 3 minutes. Brush the gill sides of the mushrooms with more seasoned olive oil, flip the mushrooms, and grill until the mushrooms are softened and juicy, about 3 more minutes. Set the mushrooms aside and keep warm.
- 4. Lightly grill the slices of onion until softened and lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Spread the rolls out onto the grill to toast, about 1 minute. Mix the mayonnaise and roasted garlic in a bowl.
- 5. Spread each roll with garlic mayonnaise, and make each sandwich with 1 mushroom cap, 1 ounce sliced mozzarella cheese, 1 slice of tomato, 4 basil leaves, 1 slice of grilled onion, and 1/4 the roasted red pepper slices. Repeat for remaining sandwiches.
Tips:
- Choose large portobello mushrooms that are firm and have a deep, dark color.
- To clean the mushrooms, wipe them with a damp paper towel or rinse them under cold water and pat them dry.
- Remove the stems from the mushrooms and use a spoon to scrape out the gills.
- Marinate the mushrooms in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Grill the mushrooms over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Top the grilled mushrooms with mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings, such as roasted red peppers, onions, or arugula.
- Serve the grilled portobello mushrooms as an appetizer, main course, or side dish.
