Ingredients

Portobello Burgers:

  • 4 Portobello Mushrooms Stems Removed
  • ½ Tbsp Grapeseed Oil

Marinade:

Caramelized Onions:

Serving: 

  • Hamburger Rolls
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato
  • Dill Pickles
  • Avocado

Instructions

  • Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms. 
  • Prepare your marinade by adding soy sauce, paprika, maple syrup, brown sugar, tomato paste, liquid smoke and oregano to a measuring jug. Whisk together until well mixed. 
  • Place the mushrooms on a baking tray or in a shallow dish and brush generously with the marinade on both sides. Leave them to soak in the marinade for 15 minutes.
  • While the mushrooms are marinating, make your caramelized onions. Add chopped onions and olive oil to a frying pan and sauté until the onions are softened. 
  • Add soy sauce and maple syrup and sauté with the onions until sticky and caramelized.
  • Heat up a grill pan and then brush it with ½ tablespoon of high smoke oil (we used grapeseed oil). 
  • Add the mushrooms and fry for around 3 minutes each side at medium heat. 
  • Then turn off the heat and brush both sides with marinade. 
  • Serve the portobello burgers on hamburger rolls with lettuce, sliced tomato and sliced dill pickles and topped with the caramelized onions and sliced avocado. 

Notes

  1. Grapeseed oil - you can use any high heat oil that has a high smoke point. We used grapeseed oil and that worked very well. 
  2. Grill pan - you can use a grill pan like we did for your portobello mushrooms but if you don't have a grill pan then a regular frying pan or skillet will work just fine. You won't get the grill lines but everything else will be the same. 
  3. Leftovers: Keep leftover portobello burgers in a covered container in the fridge and enjoy within 2-3 days. They are not freezer friendly. 
  4. Nutritional information is for 1 burger (of 4) and includes everything (roll, garnishes, onions, avocado)
