Portobello Mushroom Sandwiches
You need:
Large portobello mushroom caps (one per person)
1 or more red (or orange or yellow, not green) bell peppers, depending on how many you're serving
1 container herbed, spreadable cheese such as Boursin
Large sourdough rolls (or whatever looks fresh, tasty, and is burger-sized), split to resemble burger rolls
Mixed baby greens
Vinaigrette
Soy sauce
Garlic, minced
Vinegar (Red wine or rice vinegars work well)
Honey
To start:
- Mix soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, and honey to taste in a sealable container
- Clean off the mushroom caps and add them to the mixture
- Seal the container and refrigerate for a few hours
- Cook them under the broiler, about 4 inches away from the heat until the skin is blackened and blistered
- Put them in a paper bag (or even a plastic grocery bag), close the bag and leave until cool
- Peel off the skin, then seed them, and chop them into large slabs
- Remove the mushroom caps from the marinade, shaking off the excess liquid
- Grill them on either an indoor or outdoor grill, and grill/toast the cut sides of the buns at the same time
- Toss the greens with vinaigrette
- Smear both sides of each bun with the herbed cheese
- Place a bed of greens on the bottom, top with a mushroom, and then place a few slabs of roasted red pepper on top of that, then place the top bun...on top
