The"Vegetarians' Beefsteak" Delight

The best burger in town - hands down!
There is no other vegetable that even comes close to the taste and texture of meat like the portobello mushroom does.

Note: you can easily find Ezekiel hamburger buns or english muffins at Baxtrom's Independent Grocers in the freezer of the organic section.

Ingredients:
4 large portobello mushrooms (1 large cap per sandwich)
4 teaspoons organic extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and pepper to taste
4 oz. organic cheese of you choice
4 large pieces of roasted red pepper (you can do this on the grill,
brush the peppers with olive oil before placing on grill...10min maximum)
4 Ezekiel hamburger buns or English Muffins
Arugula, iceberg, romaine, spinach ...(whatever you desire!)
1 Tbsp. organic mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. homemade organic guacamole

Preparation;
1.Remove and discard mushroom stems. Brush top of mushroom caps with a bit of the olive oil. (You really do not need to slather it on.) Season with salt and pepper.
2.Grill mushrooms, covered, for approximately four minutes; turn and grill another three, or until tender.
3.Place flat side of mushroom up on the grill, and top with a thin slice of cheese and a piece of red pepper. Cover and cook one minute more, until the cheese is melted.
4.You may choose to toast your hamburger bread as well.
5.Put a layer of greens on the bread, top with a mushroom cap and add a bit of mayo and guacamole if desired.

Serves 4

This is absolutely amazing...so delicious and surprisingly filling.

Enjoy!!!
