Grilled Portobello Burger with Citrus Slaw
by Toni Fiore author the VegEZ Video Cookbook
Portobello mushrooms size and steak-like texture make them a fantastic meatless option for grilling. A cast iron grill pan gives you the option of grilling year round.
Serves 4 Time: 20 minutes
Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to 425-450 degrees.
Mushrooms
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
4 good-sized portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed, rinsed, and dried well
Vegetable or olive oil for brushing
1. Blend the soy and Worcestershire sauces in a shallow bowl.
2. Brush the mushroom caps with a little oil and place oiled side down on your hot grill. Cover and cook for 5 - 7 minutes until mushrooms begin to flatten and brown.
3. Using tongs, pick up, dip/press the hot mushroom caps into the sauce mixture, then return to the grill and continue grilling for another 3 - 4 minutes.
On a toasted whole grain bun, spread vegan mayonnaise, top with tomato slice, grilled mushroom, and a layer of slaw. Enjoy!
