Grilled Balsamic Portobello Mushroom Burger
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushrooms
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 whole grain burger buns
- 4 slices of provolone cheese
- 1 cup arugula
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
- Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the mushrooms in a shallow dish and pour the balsamic marinade over them. Turn to coat, then let them marinate for 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate. Place the marinated mushrooms on the grill, gill side down. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until tender and juicy.
- During the last 2 minutes of grilling, place a slice of provolone cheese on each mushroom to melt.
- Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden.
- To assemble the burgers, place a grilled portobello mushroom on the bottom half of each bun. Top with arugula, sliced tomato, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired. Place the top half of the bun on top and serve immediately.
