Recipe: Portobello Mushroom Burgers


This recipe may seem a little complicated when you first look at it, but it is actually pretty simple. The original recipe called for the mushrooms to be grilled, but given the fact that I don't have a grill, I used the broiler setting on my oven instead. serve on buns or whole wheat bread.

ingredients:
4 portobello mushroom caps
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices provolone cheese

directions:
1. Place the mushroom caps, smooth side up, in a shallow dish. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour over the mushrooms. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or so, turning twice.
2. Preheat oven to broil.
3. Grease a baking sheet. Place mushrooms on the sheet, reserving marinade for basting. Broil for 5 to 8 minutes on each side, or until tender. Brush with marinade frequently. Top with cheese during the last 2 minutes of broiling.
