Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large portobello mushrooms (4-to-5-inch caps), stems removed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 ounces provolone, thinly sliced (about 8 slices)
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 large egg, whisked
1 cup panko
Vegetable oil, for frying
Garlic-Vinegar Mayonnaise
4 brioche buns, halved and toasted
1 cup packed baby arugula

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Brush both sides of mushrooms with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange mushrooms, gill-sides down, on sheet and roast, flipping once, until tender, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a cutting board, gill-sides down. Butterfly each by cutting horizontally through middle of cap, leaving one side intact. Open flaps and add cheese (if necessary, fold to fit.) Close flaps and gently press to seal with your palm.
  • Place flour, egg, and panko in separate shallow bowls. Dip each stuffed mushroom in flour, then egg, turning to coat and shaking off excess. Then dip in panko, pressing to adhere.
  • Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large straight-sided skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium until a panko crumb sizzles when tossed in. Working in two batches, cook mushrooms until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer mushrooms to a wire rack set over a baking sheet; season with salt. Spread mayonnaise on buns. Top with mushroom burgers and arugula. Serve immediately.

SIRLOIN PORTOBELLO AND PATE BURGER



Sirloin Portobello and Pate Burger image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup red wine
4 burger-size portobello mushroom caps
2 shallots, finely chopped
4 slices pate
4 brioche burger buns
Truffled Oven Fries, for serving, recipe follows
2 russet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon white or black truffle oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter a glass baking dish large enough to hold the burgers.
  • Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper and form it into 4 patties. Place them into the prepared baking dish and bake until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. When they are done, set aside and keep warm. Add a little bit of wine to the pan and scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom. Set aside.
  • While the burgers are cooking, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Fry the mushrooms until they are just tender. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
  • Add the shallots to the pan with another tablespoon of butter and cook until they are softened. Pour in the wine and reduce by half. Pour in the juices from the baking dish and reduce again. Strain into a small pitcher and keep warm, reserving the shallots. Put the pan back on the heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Add the pate slices and cook until just warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to another skillet and toast the buns in the buttery juices.
  • To build the burger, place a mushroom cap on top of a burger bun. Set a burger on top, a spoonful of the reserved shallots and then a slice of pate. Pour some of the red wine reduction over the whole thing and top with the bun. Repeat with the remaining burgers. Serve with Truffled Oven Fries.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2- by 1/2-inch strips. Toss them with the olive oil, season with salt and spread them in a single layer onto a baking sheet. Bake, tossing once or twice, until golden brown and crispy, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Put the hot fries into a large bowl, drizzle with truffle oil and season with salt. Toss well to coat and serve immediately.

PORTOBELLO BURGER



PORTOBELLO BURGER image

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 large Portobello mushrooms (each 4 to 6 inches across, 8 to 10 ounces each)
3 large cloves garlic, cut into matchstick slivers
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons A.1. steak sauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons of your favorite barbecue sauce
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
12 fresh basil leaves, thinly slivered, or 2 teaspoons dried basil
6 thin slices Cheddar or Jack cheese (about 6 ounces total)
6 hamburger buns, lightly brushed with a little olive oil or melted butter
1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced (optional)
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Boston lettuce leaves (optional)
Mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, and/or relish

Steps:

  • Using a paring knife, trim the stems off the Portobellos. Wipe the caps clean with a damp paper towel. Using a sharp object, such as the tip of a metal skewer, make a series of holes in the gill side of the mushrooms, about 1 inch apart. Insert the garlic slivers into these holes, dividing them evenly among the 6 mushrooms. Combine the mustard, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, vinegar, liquid smoke, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl and whisk until the salt dissolves. Whisk in the olive oil and basil. Pour one-third of the mixture in the bottom of a nonreactive baking dish and place the mushrooms in it, gill side up. Swish the mushrooms around to coat the bottoms with marinade. Spoon the remaining marinade over the mushrooms. Let them marinate for 1 to 2 hours. Set up the grill for direct grilling using a two-zone fire. Preheat one zone to high, and the other zone to medium so you can move the mushrooms over if they start to burn. When ready to cook, drain the mushrooms over a small nonreactive bowl to reserve the remaining marinade. Place the Portobellos on the hot grate, gill side down, and grill for about 3 minutes. Turn the mushrooms over and spoon 1 tablespoon of the reserved marinade into each cap. Continue grilling until the Portobellos are browned and very tender, about 4 minutes more. The mushrooms are done when they can be easily pierced with a skewer. If they start to brown too much before they become tender, move them over the medium zone of the grill. After the mushrooms have grilled for 2 minutes on the second side, place a slice of cheese on each and cover the grill to melt the cheese. Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill, 1 to 2 minutes. To serve, place each grilled Portobello on a hamburger bun. Garnish with tomato and onion slices, and/or lettuce, if using, and the condiment of your choice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right portobello mushrooms. Look for large, firm mushrooms with intact stems. Avoid mushrooms that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly. Use a damp paper towel to wipe away any dirt or debris from the mushrooms.
  • Marinate the mushrooms. Marinating the mushrooms in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to enhance their flavor and moisture.
  • Cook the mushrooms over medium heat. Cooking the mushrooms over medium heat will help to prevent them from becoming tough and chewy.
  • Flip the mushrooms only once. Flipping the mushrooms too often can cause them to break apart.
  • Top the mushrooms with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for portobello burgers 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 customized to your liking. Whether you are a meat-eater or a vegetarian, you are sure to enjoy portobello burgers. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give portobello burgers a try. You won't be disappointed!
