Portabella Mushroom Burgers
Submitted by: Arlene J.

Although our society is increasingly encompassing healthy life-
styles and eating habits, it's not always easy to find healthy 
food that tastes good. Luckily, these super-healthy "burgers" 
are divine. You'll no longer begrudge your healhy diet.


Ingredients:

4 large portabella mushroom caps
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces thinly sliced provolone cheese


Directions:

Cut stems off of mushrooms, and place smooth side up in a 
shallow dish.

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, basil, oregano, 
garlic, and salt and pepper. Pour over mushrooms. Let stand at 
room temperature for around 15 minutes or so, turning twice.

Preheat grill for medium-high heat (or preheat the oven to about 
375F). Brush the grill grate with oil (although I roast the mush-
rooms in their original shallow metal container).

Place mushrooms on the grill over medium high heat, reserving 
marinade for basting. Grill for 5 to 8 minutes on each side (or 
bake them for 8 minutes). Brush/baste with marinade frequently. 

Top with cheese if desired during the last 2 minutes of grilling.

Serve with your favorite rolls, lettuce, tomato and other 
condiments of your choice.
