Portobello Faux Burgers Recipe

Portobello Faux Burgers Recipe

Ingredients

Makes 4 Burgers

This Is Vegan.

• 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
• ½ cup olive oil
• 1½ teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 medium-sized cloves)
• ½ teaspoon dried rosemary, or 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme, or 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 4 portobello mushrooms (4 to 5 inches in diameter)

Method

1. In a small bowl, or in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the vinegar, oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper; whisk or shake to combine
2. Carefully (so as not to tear the mushroom caps) pull off and discard the mushroom stems
3. Place the mushroom caps in a large flat dish (a medium-sized baking pan will work well) with their tops facing up
4. Pour about a tablespoon of the marinade over each top to cover them
5. Turn the mushrooms over and divide the rest of the marinade evenly among them
6. Let the mushrooms sit at room temperature for at least an hour, or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight
7. Shortly before serving time, preheat the boiler
8. Lift the mushrooms out of their marinating dish (leave the marinade behind) and without turning them over, transfer them to a foil-lined ovenproof dish or rimmed baking tray
9. Broil for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the mushrooms are heated through and the tops are nicely browned
10. You don’t need to flip them
11. Serve right away
