GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SANDWICHES WITH BASIL AIOLI
Aioli is a garlic mayonnaise, popular in southern France, and tasty as a spread on sandwiches. This sandwich is hearty, filling, and packed with flavor! You can use minced garlic from the jar where it calls for the garlic in the aioli, but you can definitely tell the difference. I don't have a press, so I just mince the garlic with a knife. This recipe is from "The Barbecue! Bible" by Steven Raichlen. It is based on using an outdoor grill, but this is a direct-heat method, so you could also use a grill pan (what I do), and it works great too.

Steps:
- Make the basil aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, garlic, basil, and lemon juice in a small bowl and whisk to mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- For the sandwiches: Cut the stems off the portobello mushrooms flush with the mushroom caps. Using the tip of a paring knife, make tiny holes in the caps and insert the garlic slivers and rosemary leaves (if using).
- Combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl and whisk to mix. Generously brush the portobello caps and tomato slices with some of the oil and vinegar mixture and season them with salt and pepper.
- Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
- When ready to cook, place a vegetable grate on the hot grill and preheat the vegetable grate for 5 minutes.
- Arrange the portobello caps, rounded side down, and the tomato slices on the hot grate and grill, turning with a spatula, until nicely browned and soft, 3 to 6 minutes per side. Brush the vegetables once or twice as they cook with the oil and vinegar mixture.
- Spread the insides of the rolls or buns with basil aioli. Add the grilled mushrooms, the tomato slices, and the arugula, and enjoy.
Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms: Portobello mushrooms are the best choice for this recipe, as they are large and have a meaty texture. Make sure to choose mushrooms that are fresh and have no blemishes.
- Cook the mushrooms properly: To get the best flavor and texture, cook the mushrooms over medium heat until they are tender and slightly browned. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the mushrooms will steam instead of sautéing.
- Make the tahini sauce ahead of time: The tahini sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Assemble the sandwiches just before serving: The sandwiches are best when they are served fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, assemble them and then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
- Get creative with the toppings: In addition to the suggested toppings, you can also add other ingredients to your sandwiches, such as avocado, roasted red peppers, or feta cheese.
Conclusion:
Portobello mushroom sandwiches with tahini sauce are a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is both flavorful and nutritious.
