THE ULTIMATE GRILLED PORTOBELLO BURGER

Grilled portobello mushroom burgers with grilled eggplant, roasted red peppers, red onion, arugula, and pesto sauce.

Yield 2 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 large portobello mushroom caps
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
0 pinch of sea salt
1 small eggplant, cut into 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch rounds
1 roasted red bell pepper
1/4 small red onion, sliced
1/4 cup pesto sauce
1 handful baby arugula
2 burger buns of choice, toasted
2 slices havarti cheese
1 can Bush's® Steakhouse Recipe Grillin' Beans® for serving

Steps:

Add the olive oil and balsamic vinegar to a small blender and blend well until smooth. Wash and pat dry the portobello caps and transfer them to a sealable container (or zip-lock bag) along with the balsamic marinade. Allow the mushrooms to marinate at least 15 minutes, up to 1 hour.
Heat the grill to medium and brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place the portobello mushrooms and the eggplant on the hot grill and cover. Cook until grill marks appear, about 2 to 3 minutes for the eggplant and about 5 to 7 minutes for the mushrooms. Flip and continue cooking until vegetables are juicy, tender, and cooked through, about another 2 to 3 minutes for the eggplant and 5 to 7 minutes for the mushrooms. Transfer vegetables to a plate.
Toast two buns with havarti cheese (or your choice) and layer with a grilled portobello mushroom, a few slices of eggplant, roasted red bell pepper, red onion, and arugula. Drizzle on desired amount of pesto sauce and serve.

Tips:

Choose the right portobello mushrooms. Look for large, firm mushrooms with a deep, dark brown color. Avoid mushrooms that are bruised or have soft spots.
Clean the mushrooms properly. Use a damp paper towel to gently wipe the mushrooms clean. Do not rinse the mushrooms under water, as this will make them soggy.
Marinate the mushrooms. Marinating the mushrooms in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to enhance their flavor.
Grill the mushrooms over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
Assemble the burgers. Place the grilled portobello mushrooms on toasted hamburger buns and top with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado.

Conclusion:

Portobello burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they can be easily customized to suit your taste. Whether you are a vegetarian or meat-eater, you are sure to enjoy these burgers.
