Ahhh.... The Portobello Mushroom, gotta love them. They are tasty, meaty and you can prepare them so many ways. Now that I have a vegetarian in the house, I try to find new ways for things he can eat. I found these huge portobello mushroom caps, on a trip to Wegman's, that I could make burgers out of. I am also eating lighter, so I picked out two of them. The hubby had a regular beef burger, he won't eat these, he is a meat and potato kind of guy. I sprayed my grill pan (my new best friend), heated it on medium high heat, cleaned the gills and the stem from the mushrooms, seasoned with a little salt, pepper and garlic powder and placed them top side down in the pan. Grill for about 2 - 3 minutes, until nice grill marks appear, flip it over and do the same on the other side. Looks like a regular old beef burger doesn't it? These babies are juicy, tender and taste great on a deli flat, with fat free cheese, lettuce, tomato and sliced red onion. You can make it your own burger by adding whatever you like. I served mine with a huge bowl of salad with balsamic and olive oil dressing for dinner. I didn't sacrifice any flavor with my faked out hamburgers, just fat and calories!
