This Simple Mushroom Burger is SO FLAVORFUL and TASTY! Grill it or cook it on the stovetop.
These Mushroom Burgers are so meaty and filling that even meat lovers would enjoy these. The portobello mushrooms are marinated in garlic-balsamic marinade, and they just soak up the flavors. These would taste best when cooked on the grill (like any food, right?), but it is also possible to cook these mushroom burgers on the stovetop.
MY LATEST VIDEOSBy the way, portobello mushrooms (or other edible kind of mushroom) are good for you. They are low in fat and high in fiber, contain B vitamins, selenium and potassium. When buying portobello mushrooms, look for smooth firm caps without wet slimy patches. Store them in the refrigerator inside a loosely closed bag or wrap them with a damp cloth. Let’s get back to cooking!
INGREDIENTS FOR THE MUSHROOM BURGER:
For the marinade:
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp. dried Italian herbs
- salt and pepper, to taste
For the burger:
- 2 hamburger buns
- 2 caps or portobello mushroom
- 2 tsp. mustard
- 2 slices provolone, or your favorite cheese
- 1 small onion, cut into rings and fried
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Mix all marinade ingredients together. Cover the mushrooms with marinade on both sides. (For the best results, marinate the mushrooms for at least 2 hours.)
2. IF USING OUTDOOR GRILL: Brush grate with oil. Grill the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes on each side. Use the leftover marinade for basting.
3. IF USING STOVETOP: Cook mushrooms in the frying pan covered with a tight lid, on medium-low heat, for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Cooking time may vary depending on a size of a mushroom. If your mushrooms are small, it will need 3 minutes of each side.
4. While mushrooms are cooking, toast the buns. You may choose to skip this step.
5. Spread 1 tsp of mustard on each bun.
6. Once the mushrooms are cooked, lift the lid, place the cheese on top, and return the lid, allowing cheese to melt.
7. Transfer the mushrooms onto the buns, top with fried onions and assemble the burger.
