Grilled Portabello Mushroom Burgers
SERVES 4 Ingredients 4 large portabello mushroom caps, 5 inches in diameter 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup water 1 tablespoon sugar 1 garlic clove, minced 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 whole-wheat buns, toasted 4 slices tomato 4 slices red onion 2 bibb lettuce leaves, halved Directions Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove their stems. Place in a glass dish, stem (gill) side up. To prepare the marinade, in a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, cayenne pepper and olive oil. Drizzle the marinade over the mushrooms. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, turning mushrooms once. Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill or broiler. Away from the heat source, lightly coat the grill rack or broiler pan with cooking spray. Position the cooking rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source. Grill or broil the mushrooms on medium heat, turning often, until tender, about 5 minutes on each side. Baste with marinade to keep from drying out. Using tongs, transfer the mushrooms to a plate. Place each mushroom on a bun and top with 1 tomato slice, 1 onion slice and 1/2 lettuce leaf. Serve immediately. source: Mayo Clinic "God, grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change the courage to change the person I can and the wisdom to know I am that person." ~Sylvia --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
