Portobello Burger

Hi everyone! My local grocery store got in a large shipment of portobello mushrooms, and I’d been having a craving for something grilled, so angels sounded their trumpets when I placed the mushrooms into my cart. I had never grilled portobello mushrooms by themselves before, so it was a new experience for me, but a very tasty one! So if you like mushrooms, (I think I like them more than the Mario brothers) then fire up your grill, folks.

Prep Time: 50 minutes      Cook Time: 15 minutes      Total Time: 65 minutes

Ingredients:

1 large portobello mushroom per person

6 teaspoons melted butter/margarine

3 teaspoons Italian salad dressing

1/3 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 3/4 tablespoon Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon chopped basil

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Pour in the melted butter/margarine, Italian salad dressing, and Worcestershire sauce into a baking dish that is large enough to house all of your mushrooms. Add the garlic, Parmesan cheese, basil, and salt and pepper into the dish. Stir well until everything is blended.

2. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and place them into the baking dish with the side the stems originated from facing up. Spoon the mixture over the mushrooms, covering most areas. Let the mushrooms sit and marinade for 45 minutes, spooning more of the mixture over them every 15 minutes or so.

3. When the mushrooms have been sitting in the marinade for about 45 minutes, place them on a hot grill. Let them grill on one side for about 7-8 minutes, flip them, and grill the other side for another 7-8 minutes.

4. Place onto a bun with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
